- The Canadiens opted to send defenseman Adam Engstrom to the Laval Rocket (AHL). Laval is in the midst of its own playoff push, currently trailing 2-1 in its series against the Toronto Marlies. They will be in a better position now that their best defenseman of the regular season is back. This also means that Noah Dobson is no longer in danger of missing any games due to an upper body injury.

- There’s no doubt that Nick Suzuki (and the rest of the first line) could have performed better at 5v5 in the first round, but all things considered, he still had a good series, as evidenced by the fact that he led the team in scoring along with Hutson (6 points).
