The Montreal Canadiens (47-24-10) are set to face the New York Islanders (43-32-5) on Sunday, April 12, 2026, in their final regular season matchup. The Canadiens won their last encounter decisively, with Cole Caufield scoring a hat trick in a 7-3 victory. Currently, Nick Suzuki is just one point away from achieving 100 points for the first time in his career, having recorded 28 goals and 71 assists this season. Both teams are looking to rebound from recent losses, with the Islanders still in the playoff hunt, trailing the Philadelphia Flyers by just two points for the final playoff spot in the Metropolitan Division. The Canadiens, meanwhile, are aiming to catch the Buffalo Sabres for the top position in the Atlantic Division, needing a win and some help from other teams. Jacob Fowler is projected to start as goalie for the Canadiens, while Noah Dobson's status for the Islanders remains uncertain after he left the previous game due to injury. The game will be broadcast on TSN2 and RDS.
