Except for a goal by Max Domi just 58 seconds into the game, the Canadiens weren’t able to solve Tampa goaltender Andrei Vasilevskiy, and the visitors hung a 4-1 beating on the bleu, blanc et rouge at the Bell Centre Saturday night.
Montreal had their chances, plenty of them, but it wasn’t to be.
The four unanswered goals by the Lightning began midway through the first period after Nicolas Deslaurier took a penalty for slamming Ryan McDonagh into the boards, which led to Steven Stamkos (his first of two on the night), scoring on the power play.
