Canadiens' Alex Newhook: Pots series winner Sunday
Newhook scored the game-winning goal in Sunday's 2-1 victory over the Lightning in Game 7.
Analysis:
The 25-year-old forward potted the series winner with an incredible play midway through the final frame. After Lane Hutson's shot was knocked high and wide by Andrei Vasilevskiy and caromed off the end boards, Newhook raced around the back of the net and batted the puck home out of midair on the backhand from an almost impossible angle. It was Newhook's first goal of the playoffs and his second point in seven postseason outings, after a regular season that saw him compile 13 goals and 25 points in 42 contests.
