At the beginning of the third period Montreal thought they had tied the game, but goal-scorer Juraj Slafkowski was ruled offside.
But it was only a matter of time before Nick Suzuki scored his second goal on the same power play.

That's how the game ended: Montreal held on until late.
In particular, thanks to the genius of Dobes.
