Montreal Canadiens hold a 3-2 series lead over Tampa Bay Lightning in their NHL first-round playoffs after a 3-2 Game 5 win on April 29, where Alexandre Texier's third-period goal snapped a tie and shifted momentum heading into Game 6 at Bell Centre on May 1. Tampa faces elimination without key defenseman Victor Hedman (injured reserve) and forward Pontus Holmberg (out), piling pressure on Nikita Kucherov, Brayden Point, and Andrei Vasilevskiy to deliver amid a close series of one-goal games. Canadiens welcome back Brendan Gallagher for grit but miss Patrik Laine (abdomen) and Noah Dobson (thumb), with home-ice advantage and recent resilience bolstering trader consensus on a potential closeout.
