Jack’s goal came at the 1:53 mark of the third period, and it was a nice one. After receiving a breakout pass from Brett Pesce, the 2019 first-overall pick skated the puck down the ice and beat Canadiens goalie Samuel Montembeault top shelf.

Luke’s goal was at the 10:09 mark of the third, and it was a beauty as well. The young blueliner one-timed a Timo Meier feed with a blistering slapshot for the goal.
