Mathieu Joseph is a Stanley Cup champion again.
The former Saint John Sea Dogs forward had 8:26 of ice time in last night's win, finishing off what proved to be an impressive post-season for the 24-year-old. Joseph had a strong showing in the final, recording two assists in the four games he appeared in and received high praise from NHL analysts.
Joseph helped the Tampa Bay Lightning win their second consecutive NHL playoff title on Wednesday, defeating the Montreal Canadiens 1-0 to take the series in five games.

After not appearing in any playoff games in the bubble, Joseph appeared in six this season, registering two helpers. He had 12 goals and seven assists in 56 regular season games.
His play against Montreal likely earned him a permanent spot in next year's Lightning lineup - which will likely lose several of its depth forwards. Or, he's become a very nice trade chip for Tampa this off-season (The Hockey News has him being selected in the Seattle Kraken expansion draft). Either way, Jospeh is likely to see more playing time in 2021-22.
From growing up dreaming about playing against Carey Price, to playing and winning the Cup against him.
