In a season where the Montreal Canadiens haven’t found a lot of success, they have been able to keep the top team in the league honest. The team has taken the Tampa Bay Lightning to overtime in two of the three games they’ve played, winning one of them and earning three points in three games.
The Lightning have still had the better results in the season series, with a 2-0-1 record, but their league-leading offence that has scored an average of 3.6 goals per game has been held to just seven goals in 190 minutes of action.
