Montreal Canadiens at Tampa Bay Lightning Preview: The Break is Over, Time to Hunker Down

It’s been rough going for the Lightning so far. Injuries and inconsistent play have been the culprits for an underwhelming season. Currently the Lightning sit 3 points behind Boston for the final divisional playoff spot after the Christmas break. With the extra time to heal, the Lightning are looking to spark a winning streak that will put them firmly into playoff contention.

The last time these two teams played was back on October 27 with the Lightning blowing a 1-0 3rd period lead as Montreal emerged the victors by a score of 3-1. Since that last meeting, the Lightning have gone 13-13-2 while Montreal has gone 14-11-1.
