Bell Centre watch party planned for Canadiens’ winner-take-all Game 7

Montreal Canadiens fans will have a chance to experience the intensity of Game 7 together at the Bell Centre on Monday night, even as the team takes the ice in Buffalo.

The club announced Saturday that it will host a special Game 7 watch party beginning at 7:30 p.m. on May 18, as Montreal faces the Buffalo Sabres in the deciding game of their second-round playoff series.

Tickets for the event will go on sale Sunday at 10 a.m. and will cost $12, with proceeds benefiting the evenko foundation.

The first 8,000 fans admitted to the arena will receive an official 2026 playoff towel. Team alumni are also expected to appear in the lower concourse before the game for fan photo opportunities.

Mascots Youppi! and METAL! will also take part in the festivities throughout the evening.

The series winner will advance to the Eastern Conference Final to face the Carolina Hurricanes.

With the season on the line, Monday’s Game 7 is set for 7:30 p.m. and is expected to draw another electric atmosphere from Canadiens supporters.
