Canadiens one win away from Eastern Conference final

The Montreal Canadiens can advance to the Eastern Conference final for the first time in years with a win over the Buffalo Sabres tonight at the Bell Centre. Montreal holds a 3-2 series lead after a dominant 6-3 victory in Game 5, with rookie Ivan Demidov scoring his first playoff goal and the power play continuing to be a major force. A packed crowd is expected as the Habs look to secure their spot against the Carolina Hurricanes.
