The Montreal Canadiens hosted the Tampa Bay Lightning on Sunday night, aiming to gain a stranglehold on their first-round series.
Legendary defenceman Serge Savard got the ball rolling at the Bell Centre, following in the footsteps of his longtime teammate Yvan Cournoyer on Friday evening.
It was yet another hard-fought game between two evenly-matched teams, which eventually saw the Lightning emerge with a 3-2 victory, tying the series at two games a piece in the process.
Let’s dive into the highlights!
All Eyes On Dobes
Unlike previous games, the Lightning quickly generated several high-danger scoring chances, forcing Canadiens netminder Jakub Dobes to make a handful of difficult saves in the first period.
The rookie netminder was far from stoic, but that’s par for the course when discussing Dobes’ style of play, which is clearly chaotic good. What matters most is that he responded quite well to the uptick in scoring chances from the Lightning.
Making Your Own Luck
Even though the Canadiens were outchanced in the first period, they did a fantastic job capitalizing on their first high-danger scoring chance of the game, which took place midway through the second frame.
It was Zachary Bolduc who opened the scoring, and while the goal could be described as relatively fortuitous given that it bounced off him before finding the back of the net, good things happen when you drive the slot.
Both Alexandre Texier and provided excellent assists on the scoring play.
