Canadiens Clinch Playoffs, Lose Streak to Devils

The Canadiens clinched a second straight playoff berth but saw their eight‑game winning streak snapped by a 3-0 defeat to the New Jersey Devils.

The Montreal Canadiens secured a playoff spot after the Detroit Red Wings fell to Minnesota, becoming the first Canadian NHL team to lock in a berth this season. However, the win streak ended when New Jersey shut out Montreal 3-0, with Jacob Markstrom recording his first season shutout and Cody Glass and Timo Meier scoring for the Devils.
