Alex Newhook delivered another defining NHL playoff moment on Monday night, lifting the Montreal Canadiens to a 3-2 overtime win over the Buffalo Sabres in Game 7 and sending Montreal into the Eastern Conference Finals.

Game 7 OT hero Alex Newhook is feeling very confident about the Canadiens' chances in the ECF against the Hurricanes.

Monday's Game 7 between the Montréal Canadiens and Buffalo Sabres was the conclusion to the series that had to go the distance. That it wasn't settled in regulation made even more sense, and that it ended with Alex Newhook scoring the overtime winner shouldn't have surprised anyone who's been watching the Canadiens in the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

Montreal Canadiens goalie Jakub Dobes has had an impressive postseason, and is even making history in the process.

The Sabres are going to look back on their series loss to the Canadiens and wonder how they got so close after some of their issues.
