The Canadiens are down 1-0 heading into the 2nd period.
The Habs and Lightning played a little tentative to begin the game, with a few miscues by the Canadiens in their own zone. The Canadiens stick-checking was akin to wildly flailing their sticks along the ice which led to a Tampa breakthrough to the front of the net where Carey Price was forced to make 3 saves in a row to prevent the Lightning from jumping to an early lead. P.K. Subban almost scored within the first 5 minutes pinging a shot off the post.
