It’s hard to win a game in the NHL when you only show up for roughly twenty minutes. Yet, here we are. The Tampa Bay Lightning turned a 2-1 deficit with less than three minutes to go in the game into a 3-2 victory against the struggling Montreal Canadiens. Corey Perry and Ondrej Palat scored less than two minutes apart in the third period to turn the tide. Pat Maroon had the game-opening goal while Nick Suzuki and Mike Hoffman scored for the Habs.
Andrei Vasilevskiy made 21 saves in his return to action including a key stop on Artturi Lehkonen on a breakaway in the final frame.
