Another Saturday, another matinee matchup for the Lightning. Last week showcased the Philadelphia Flyers and the Tampa Bay Lightning seeing who could score more. Today, it was the Montreal Canadiens in town for an early showdown with the hometown Lightning. The Bolts would emerge victorious with a 3-2 victory, in the shootout, of course.
Similar to last Saturday’s matchup the Lightning trailed early in this game. Montreal converted on an early power-play after Adam Erne was called for hooking. Atrurri Lehkonen scored off a one-timer after the puck bounced off Dan Girardi.
