Tampa Bay Lightning
TAMPA — The Lightning have been there and experienced that, so they should know what to expect.
Only this time, the roles are reversed.
Last year, the Lightning lost the first two games in their playoff series at home to Montreal, and had to go on the road trying to save the season. This playoff season, it is Tampa Bay that holds a 2-0 series lead over Montreal after winning the first two games on the road.
That gives the Lightning a unique perspective as they return to home ice holding a 2-0 series lead, with Game 3 set to take place tonight at Amalie Arena.
