The Tampa Bay Lightning take both games at Bell Centre to start the series and head home with a chance to make tonight's 6-2 win the last time Montreal Candiens fans see their team at home this season.
The first period saw another bad start for Tampa Bay, with giveaways galore and a strong forecheck from Montreal forcing the Bolts into a lot of poor decision-making especially in their defensive third.
The Habs, who also had a similar start in Game 1, capitalized this time with a Jeff Petry floater through a screen after a Cedric Paquette turnover.
