2015 NHL Playoffs Game 8 recap: Nikita Kucherov scores game-winner (some would say twice) in 2-1 double overtime Game 1 win

Nikita Kucherov scores the game-winner in 2OT after having another apparent goal waved off in the first overtime as the Tampa Bay Lightning steal home ice with a 2-1 win in Game 1 over the Montreal Canadiens.

While the Tampa Bay Lightning are still looking for the first tally from their captain and leading goal-scorer from the regular season, it's nice to have another third of the still-excellent second line on the board in the playoffs.

A nicely placed shot from the high slot off a feed from Valtteri Filppula eluded Carey Price just a few minutes into the second overtime session as the Lightning managed to steal home ice out from under the Montreal Canadiens in Game 1 of their second round series.
