The deflection, watch Josh Anderson, full head of steam through the neutral zone.Nobody slows him down.a look at this as Dhanno flicked his skate to the right and deflected this in.The Sabres are looking at it on their bench.They'll talk to their video coach.Remember, it's...

He's got to transport the puck through the middle of the ice so Thompson can get free to shoot the puck.There's a chance down low.Quinn stopped by Dobich.couple of minutes.Helenus finds Quinn in tight.Two goals in game six.

Quinn looks for another, but Dobish spreads out to make the pad stop.

Dobish stuck his stick out, then a big collision.Gouley and Doan.Gouley went down to the crowd like that.Cross it comes for a shot, and a great stop by Dobish as Connor Timmons.They lead one to nothing.Philip Deneau the goal for the Canadians.

Out in front!What a stop!

Rebound and a shot! the net front.

Montreal's chance is with their 50 -model score.

Marty Saint -Louis changing part of the power play unit.30 seconds on the man.The shot for Bolduc just on.Slapkowski heads off, so they're a man short of the offensive end for the moment.Out in front, it comes!Zach!

...and Sean, the Canadians only have 13.Suzuki wins this puck in the corner.That's the second puck battle that Montreal's won that's resulted in a goal.The first one led to the goal by Dano, and much like Demidov's shot...

They crowd the net.Maverick Darlene wound up in the net, he's still in the net, and here's a breakaway for Texier.

To spread out as you mentioned, he's so big and long, he's gonna go way across.

New hook plays it ahead, Anderson and a long.

Blue line, the quick up sends him in the clear, Samuelsson's coming back.Oh, he just loses an edge.Watch right here, he's gonna toe pick, and down he goes.And right in the midsection, he crashes into the net.There's no penalty here on Samuelson.Anderson's already down in the second Canadian's breakaway miss in this game.

Here's Doan, good pressure for Buffalo, trying to get on the board.Rebound free.

To power, it goes right through the crease.Here's that chance from Tuck, but Dovish is square up.He's got his glove up and a reallygood catching position to take away more of the net.

Here's another without a point in this series after he had six in the series against Boston in the opening round.Greenway moved it quickly.Metsa sends it back.Greenway trying to wrap around.He got double -teamed.Allenstein out in front.

There's a shot!He scores!

And will deflect off of Josh Anderson.Dovish has got no chance.to see it as Jordan Greenway is set up sharp in front of the net Samuelson who has had a career year takes this well they're going to get a rush across the line tuck and then he turned it over hit a bat here's Coffey ground Cole Caulfield another great chance that Buffalo hems the Canadians here they go 32 shot attempt Dobish has been excellent he stops Thompson it deflected off of Dobish Off the Thompson shot, really good blocker save.And then the puck back front of the net.It's just thick strength as it hits Carrier's foot.Watch it hit Carrier, 45, and go back towards base.

Here's Thompson.And that's kicked out by Dobish.Centering pass at the goalsters.Both 20 years old.Criss pass it almost makes it 3 -1.

His wrister cleaned through off the crossbar.

Here's Hellenus at a good spot.Byram lets it go.That didn't get through.One time.

A goal against in the second period.He was able to pull one aside with Thompson.This time the one -timer is grabbed right by the goal line it's off the pad and when dovish goes to cover it up sometimes you don't even see it even though it's a couple of feet away i mean a player does the same thing and they're like how did you not see that guy you just don't sometimes the face off it comes going power walking down the slot this before a long point shot so no doubt you heard it this puck goes through dovish the whistles forwardthe play is waved off, and we'll go into the last 10 minutes of Game 7.

Sends it up high, a lot of room for Matheson as he gloved it down.Dobson played it down low.It's jammed in the nut front and covered....tried to center it and Hudson blocked it.That fourth line out again, Bowen Byrum!And it rolls out!

Wasn't sure if he was going to, it took him a minute.

tipped in and it's Zucker in hard on Deneau he won the puck great chance for Hill that led to the goal although Power and Dallin were switched left ahead Anderson trying to run up and stop from the open net the intent to send it in behind this line out quickly again and why not Benson Thompson stopped by Doe their combined 20 in the playoff but all that is in the lost it at the loss and with him and Evans again, poked back by Norris.Dolly, shoot by Denidoff, the puck is free, and taken by Alexander Kerrion.Head man's the puck, shot, score!

It's a little bit of a turn.There's still nothing going on.And Carrier will flip this across to Newhook.Far side.Evans goes to the front of the net.It goes under the glove.

Over the pad.And your Game 7 hero is Alex Newhook.And the Montreal Canadiens on the road again.Move on to the next round.7th goal of the playoffs.
