Montreal Canadiens fans will once again have a chance to experience the intensity of Game 7 together at the Bell Centre on Monday night, as the team takes the ice in Buffalo for a decisive showdown against the Buffalo Sabres.
The club announced Saturday that it will host a special Game 7 watch party beginning at 7:30 p.m. on May 18, as Montreal faces Buffalo in the deciding game of their second-round playoff series.
Tickets go on sale Sunday at 10 a.m. and will cost $12. Proceeds from Monday’s event will support the evenko foundation, which funds programs in Quebec focused on youth access to the performing arts, including music education.
The first 8,000 fans in attendance will receive an official 2026 Canadiens playoff towel, while select alumni are expected to take part in pregame photo opportunities in the lower concourse.
Mascots Youppi! and METAL! will also be on hand throughout the evening, adding to the game-night atmosphere as the Bell Centre once again becomes a central gathering point for fans.
The winner of the series will advance to the Eastern Conference Final to face the Carolina Hurricanes.
With the season on the line, Game 7 is set for Monday at 7:30 p.m. ET and is expected to draw another electric atmosphere from Canadiens supporters.
