The Montreal Canadiens fell behind early in the game with a quick goal by Lighting defenceman Victor Hedman that even without the traffic in front of him, Carey Price would not have been able to stop.
a response only culminated by the Montreal Canadiens by forward Joel Armia who almost completed his breakaway but the Canadiens weren’t the ones doing the scoring just yet. With a two on one, Carey Price was bested by Alex Killorn on a shot that his glove could not reach in time.
By the end of the period, the shots were 12-8 for the Tampa Bay Lightning.
