Last night, there were several great stories to watch during the game between the Canadiens and the Lightning.

We can think of Martin St-Louis' return to Tampa Bay, Sebastian Goulet, who described his first game with the Habs on TVA Sports.

We can think of Cole Caufield (who scored again), Jesse Ylönen, who played well and scored, but also, let's not forget that it was also Jordan Harris' first career game with the CH.

On this subject, listening to the different comments, the youngster really impressed the different experts, fans and observers. He showed impressive composure (with and without the puck) and never seemed overwhelmed, even against one of the best clubs in the league.

To comment on the performance of the young Harris, the head coach of the Canadiens, Martin St-Louis, made some interesting comments:

"I loved his game. He skates so well, it seems easy and natural for him. He gave us great minutes. [...] We chose to play him in overtime, because this season he was consistently playing 4 of his 5 minutes in the overtime period. Yes the level is much higher here, but the principle remains the same. He played his role very well and controlled the puck very well." - Martin St. Louis on Jordan Harris

As for Joel Edmundson, he had this to say:

"We knew what kind of player he was. I was very impressed to see him in action. He's a good guy, who was asking questions during the game and wants to learn." - Edmundson on Jordan Harris

Love it! For the head coach's full media availability :
