1. Vasilevskiy’s puck handling is suspect
Carey Price is a notoriously good puck-handling goalie. Andrei Vasilevskiy? Well, it still needs a little work. The lightning fast Montreal team caught the Tampa net minder behind the net twice in the first period alone, and the Habs made no mistake in making them pay on Vasilevskiy’s first dawdle with the puck. Paul Byron swooped in early in the first period to steal the puck off Vasi’s stick, sending it flying over to a hungry, waiting Alex Radulov who would make no mistake. A few minutes later, a similar situation unfolded, but the Tampa Bay goalie was lucky enough to get the puck up and off his stick before more damage could be done.
