The Stanley Cup has been awarded, and the only link in uniform that Montreal has is former backup goalie Mathieu Garon. Garon was drafted in 1996 (round 2, 44 overall) by the Canadiens and remained in the organization until being traded with a 3rd round pick to the Kings for Cristobal Huet and Radek Bonk in 2004.
Garon arrived in Pittsburgh via a trade with Edmonton in January and backed up Marc-Andre Fleury to his first Stanley Cup. Seeing only 24:20 of ice time after replacing Fleury in game five of the finals, Garon preserved his 1.000 save percentage in the postseason. Garon also saved all six shots he faced after Jose Theodore was pulled in a game against the Lightning in the 2004 playoffs.
