NBCSNâs coverage of the 2020-21 NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs continues with Sundayâs Game 3 matchup between the Montreal Canadiens and Winnipeg Jets. Canadiens-Jets stream coverage begins at 6 p.m. ET on NBCSN. You can watch the game online and on the NBC Sports app by clicking here.
The Jets head to Montreal facing the prospect of an 0-3 series deficit against the Canadiens in Game 3. After dropping the opener and losing Mark Scheifele to four games due to a suspension, Winnipeg could not solve Carey Price in Game 2 and dropped a 1-0 decision.
Head coach Paul Maurice saw improvement on Friday, but it wasnât enough.
âWe feel weâve got to make the same kind of improvement in Game 3, and thatâs the big one,â Maurice said. âObviously, a critical game for numbers, but also going into back-to-back. If we can make the same kind of improvement game over game, weâve got a real good chance.â
Montreal enters Sunday on a five-game winning streak and have not trailed in any of those games. The last time that happened was the Kingsâ Stanley Cup run in 2012.
âWeâre really playing together. Everyoneâs supporting the puck and coming back in the defensive zone,â said Canadiens defenseman Ben Chiarot. âThere are easy outs all over the place. They have an aggressive forecheck. Weâre doing a good job of supporting each other and defending well in our own zone. Itâs a big key why weâre having success.â
