The Tampa Bay Lightning played down to their opponents, allowing the Montreal Canadiens to steal a point in a 4-3 shootout victory for the Lightning.
Nikita Kucherov and Brayden Point led the way with two goals each. Okay, one of Kucherov’s goals was deflected by Ryan Callahan and Point’s “second goal” was the shootout winner, but the effort was made. Andrei Vasilevskiy made 29 of 32 possible saves, some much bigger than others, including going three for three in the shootout.
Here is my play-by-play of the action.
