“Simply actually pleased with our group,” Canadiens middle Nick Suzuki stated in a postgame interview with Sportsnet’s Shawn McKenzie. “I feel there’s not lots of people that believed in us and did not suppose that we may do that. We have been working each single day for this chance. To clinch our spot within the final recreation appears fairly becoming for us.”
