The Tampa Bay Lightning started out the Second Round series of the Stanley Cup Playoffs against the Montreal Canadiens with one heck of a bang. When the Lightning was up 3-0 over the Canadiens it seemed as if a Lightning victory was a foregone conclusion…then the Montreal Canadiens woke up.
Once that happened, the Montreal Canadiens went on a tear, completely dismantling the Tampa Bay Lightning in Games 4 and 5. Now, the momentum has started to shift and the Tampa Bay Lightning are battling to finish this series off and advance to the Eastern Conference Finals against either the Washington Capitals or the New York Rangers.
