Tampa Bay Lightning vs. Montreal Canadiens – Play-by-Play
Welcome back to another exciting Montreal Canadiens play-by-play as they host the Tampa Bay Lightning! The Canadiens hit the ice riding high after a thrilling 5-4 OT victory against the Rangers on Sunday, while the Lightning come off a 5-3 loss to the Maple Leafs last night.
The Lightning are 5-4-1 in their last 10 games, while the Canadiens boast an impressive 7-2-1 record over the same stretch. Montreal sits just 3 points behind Tampa in the standings, but the Lightning hold a game in hand.
This marks the second meeting of the season between these two teams. The Canadiens fell 5-2 in Tampa on December 29th but will look to turn the tables on home ice. We expect a goaltending duel between Samuel Montembeault and Andrei Vasilevskiy.
Lane Hutson continues to shine for the Canadiens, leading the team with 7 points in his last 5 games and topping the NHL in points by a defenseman in January. On the Lightning side, Nikita Kucherov has been a force, recording 10 points (3 goals, 7 assists) in his last 5 games.
