Slafkovsky’s goal at 12:46 of the 3rd period gave the Canadiens a 4-3 lead. Lane Hutson had an assist on the goal, giving him his 2nd career NHL point (he had an assist in his 1st NHL game against Detroit the day before).
An interesting note from NHL.com: Slafkovsky is the fifth Canadiens player at the age of 20 or younger to have a 20-goal season. Guy Lafleur (29 goals in 1971-72), Stephane Richer (21 in 1985-86, and 20 in 1986-87), Mario Tremblay (21 in 1974-75), and Bernie Geoffrion (20 in 1951-52) are the others.

50th point, 30th assist and 20th goal securing bonus of $250K, all in last match of the season, very nice Juraj 🙂
This is great footage. Thank you!
You don't see it too well from this angle, but I love Suzuki grabbing onto Hutson to make sure he's included in the group hug, even though they're all over Slaf 😂
