Canadiens Aim Higher After Playoff-Busting Loss

The Canadiens had clinched a playoff spot earlier Sunday when the Detroit Red Wings lost to the Minnesota Wild. Captain Nick Suzuki acknowledged the team's accomplishment while noting their new goal is to chase down the Atlantic Division-leading Tampa Bay Lightning.

Cole Caufield remained stuck on 49 goals during the lackluster performance. Coach Martin St. Louis emphasized the team needs to maintain consistency to extend their postseason run, saying 'our good is good enough to keep playing hockey in April or May.'
