Entering Game 4, the Montreal Canadiens had scored just four goals in three games in their Second Round series against Tampa Bay.
During the 2015 NHL Playoffs, the Habs averaged a paltry 1.78 goals per game.
The Canadiens released a few weeks’ worth of frustration in one game, exploding for six goals Thursday night to dominate the Bolts 6-2 at Amalie Arena.
In the process, they broke a string of eight straight losses to the Lightning.
So how do the Lightning regroup after being summarily rebuked in their effort to sweep the Habs?
And why does a 3-1 lead no longer feel as safe as it looks on paper?
