Stanley Cup Playoffs: OT Goal Sends Habs To First Final Since '93

 At Montreal:


Arturi Lehkonen scored the game-winning goal 99 seconds into overtime on Thursday as the Montreal Canadiens advanced to their first Stanley Cup Final since 1993 (and first for a Canadian club since 2011 [Vancouver Canucks] with a 3-2 game-six semifinal series home victory over the Vegas Golden Knights.


Les Habitants won the series four games to two and will face the winner of the New York Islanders-Tampa Bay Lightning series in the Final (that series is deadlocked at three games apiece and will be decided on Friday night).


Carey Price saved 37 of 39 shots to preserve the Montreal victory as the Canadiens look to win their first Cup title since 1993 (which happened to be the last time a Canadian club won the trophy).
