Question
A Canadian team hasn’t won a Stanley Cup since 1993, but the Montreal Canadiens got a little close in 2021. For 10 points each:
[10h] In the first round, Montreal prolonged Toronto's Sisyphean quest to win a playoff round thanks in part to this player's Game 6 OT winner. This player signed with the Hurricanes in 2021 after Montreal decided not to match his 6.1 million dollar offer sheet.
ANSWER: Jesperi Kotkaniemi
[10m] In the semifinals, Montreal scored a game-tying goal in Game 3 when this goaltender tried to play the puck. Despite leading Las Vegas goalies in career wins and games played, this player is perhaps better remembered for holding the same distinctions among Penguins goalies.
ANSWER: Marc-André Fleury
[10e] Unfortunately, all good runs must come to an end, and Montreal’s end came in the Stanley Cup Finals to this team led by Nikita Kucherov that was captained by Steven Stamkos.
ANSWER: Tampa Bay Lightning [accept Tampa; prompt on Bolts]
