The final night was a visit from the Florida Panthers, with the Canadiens giving the fans a lot of joy to end the season with a 10-2 win.
The Panthers rested many of their stars for the playoffs after winning the President’s Trophy on Thursday night. The Canadiens had a chance to seize the day against a club that didn’t have a thing to play for.

Early, it was a memorable moment for Jordan Harris as he scored the first goal of his career on a point shot. Harris has been strong in his short tryout this April. He will have to earn his spot next season, but it shouldn’t be too difficult. He looks like a sure fire third pair to start.
After Mike Hoffman tallied, it was back to Cole Caufield with his 21st goal of the season. That tied him for the team lead with Nick Suzuki. Caufield wasn’t even close to done. His prettiest of the night was his second as he split the defence beautifully. He kept the legs moving and the stick busy. He then fired it up high on the back hand.
