The Montreal Canadiens<\/a> picked up a 2-1 win over the Tampa Bay Lightning<\/a> in Game 7. With this, the Canadiens have moved on to the second round and will be facing off against the surging Buffalo Sabres<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Game 7 was certainly far from a perfect win for the Canadiens, as the Habs finished the contest with only nine shots. Yet, despite not generating many chances, the Canadiens still pulled away with the victory.<\/p>\n

The Canadiens can thank Jakub Dobes<\/a> for that.<\/p>\n

Dobes was excellent for the Canadiens in Game 7, as he stopped 28 out of 29 Lightning shots he faced. With this, Dobes finished Game 7 with a .966 save percentage.<\/p>\n

Dobes’ heroics ended up making him the recipient of a funny prank by fellow Canadiens goaltender Samuel Montembeault<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Following an interview on TNT, Dobes received a shaving cream pie to the face from Montembeault. TNT was able to capture the aftermath of the prank, which was great.<\/p>\n

Montembeault has not played this postseason, but he has been a great teammate. For example, during Game 6, Montembeault was seen waving his towel like the Habs fans.<\/p>\n

Now, Dobes will be looking to lead the Canadiens past the Sabres in the second round. If he does, Montembeault may have no choice but to prank him again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Montreal Canadiens picked up a 2-1 win over the Tampa Bay Lightning in Game 7.
