TAMPA – A few quick notes from today’s morning skate at Amalie Arena:
* Although the Lightning is up 2-0 on the Canadiens and has won all seven meetings this season, Tampa Bay doesn’t sound overconfident.
“We’ve got a good chance to take another step,” defenseman Anton Stralman said. “Don’t let it slip away.”
The Lightning expects Montreal to be desperate tonight, just as the Lightning was desperate when it faced an 0-2 deficit to the Canadiens in last year’s first round.
“We’ve been in that situation before,” center Steven Stamkos said.
