* Five Golden Knights defensemen have scored a goal in their 2021 Stanley Cup Semifinals series against the Canadiens (Alec Martinez, Alex Pietrangelo, Brayden McNabb, Nick Holden & Shea Theodore). Only three teams in NHL history have had more blueliners score in a single playoff series: Boston (6 in 2019 SCF vs. STL), Calgary (6 in 1988 DSF vs. LAK) and Vancouver (6 in 1983 DSF vs. CGY).

* Overall, seven different Vegas defensemen have scored at least one goal during the 2021 Stanley Cup Playoffs, tied for the most by an NHL team in a single playoff year, joining Boston (2019), Washington (1994), Pittsburgh (1991), Calgary (1988) and Edmonton (1987).

* Nick Suzuki (21 years, 316 days) factored on Montreal’s lone goal in Game 4 to boost his totals in the 2021 Stanley Cup Playoffs to 4-6—10 (15 GP). Only three different Canadiens players have recorded more points in a single playoff year before age 22: Claude Lemieux (2x: 16 in 1986 & 13 in 1987), Stephane Richer (12 in 1988) and Shayne Corson (11 in 1987).

* Shea Theodore, who collected an assist on his team’s tying goal in Game 4, has 12-34—46 in 64 postseason games since joining the Golden Knights in 2017-18, which trails only Tampa Bay’s Victor Hedman for the most points among all defensemen over that span.

* The Canadiens have seen nearly half of their playoff points come from players in their first season with the club (45 of 93 - 48.4%). The 45 points contributed by new players for Montreal is more than double the second-closest team (FLA – 22).

* The Canadiens have not allowed a power-play goal in 11 straight contests, besting 10-game runs by the Red Wings (1937), Rangers (1940) and Devils (2000) for the longest in a single playoff year (since 1933-34 when goals by type were officially tracked). Montreal has killed 26 consecutive penalties over their 11-game run.

* Montreal defensemen Ben Chiarot (29:04), Shea Weber (26:06) have each been on the ice for more than half of its 48:17 on the penalty kill during the club’s 11 consecutive games without allowing a power-play goal (a run that began May 27); forwards Phillip Danault (23:34) and Joel Armia (21:21) have each skated over 20 minutes shorthanded during that span.

* Overall, Shea Weber has logged 44:20 of shorthanded time this postseason which sits just outside the top 10 among Canadiens players in a single playoff year since 1998.
