Montreal Canadiens vs. Vegas Golden Knights: The Canadiens are one win away from becoming the first Canadian team to reach the Stanley Cup Finals in a decade, and the setting could not be more perfect. It’s Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day in Quebec — the province’s biggest holiday — and tonight’s Game 6 begins at 8 p.m. ET in Montreal.
- Thanks to a 4–1 win on Tuesday, the Habs lead the series 3-2, and if they can’t put it away tonight (fingers, toes and eyes crossed), they’ll try again in Game 7 on Saturday...in Vegas. In Carey we trust.
Tampa Bay Lightning vs. New York Islanders: Speaking of Game 7, the Isles tied up the other semifinal series 3-3 with a 3–2 overtime win last night, redeeming their 8–0 (!!!) loss on Monday. Game 7 is set for tomorrow at 8 p.m. ET. Can the Lightning make it back-to-back?
