Once again the Tampa Bay Lightning are in the lion's den with the formidable task of taking on the Montreal Canadiens at Bell Centre in Montréal. One truth that goes with them and the Habs to this contest is that the Lightning are on the cusp of moving forward in the playoffs while the Canadiens face the brink of elimination from playoff contention.
The series has been a bi-polar spectacle in that the Atlantic Division Finals have been either very close or lop-sided in the 4 games between the two clubs. A close contest is more likely for the evening.
