Tampa Bay Lightning overcomes shaky start to defeat Montreal Canadiens

The Tampa Bay Lightning charged into the Bell Centre tonight to take on the Montreal Canadiens in the first game of a back-to-back weekend series. While this story does have a happy ending, it wasn’t always wine and roses for the boys in blue.

The Bolts didn’t exactly get off to the start they would’ve wanted against the Canadiens. Less than one minute into the game and an ill-timed turnover from Lightning defenseman Mikhail Sergachev would lead to a goal from Habs forward Max Domi to give them the early lead.

There is a good chance we have the unpopular opinion here, but it’s starting to feel as if Sergachev needs to take a seat for a few games and utilize his newly found free time to get his head on straight.
