https://www.newsplusglobe.com/
The Tampa Bay Lightning face the Montreal Canadiens in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference first round. The series is tied 1-1. Here is what you need to know.
Series so far:
🔹 Game 1: Lightning won at home
🔹 Game 2: Canadiens stole one on the road
🔹 Series tied 1-1
🔹 Game 3: Friday night in Montreal
Why Game 3 is crucial:
The winner of Game 3 in a tied series wins the series over 70% of the time. Montreal has all the momentum. The Bell Centre crowd will be a factor. Tampa Bay needs to silence the building early.
Three keys to the game:
Special teams – The Lightning have the NHL's best power play. Montreal has a top penalty kill. Something has to give.
Goaltending – Andrei Vasilevskiy is a two-time Conn Smythe winner. But Montreal's goaltender has been excellent at home.
Physicality – The Canadiens are hitting everything that moves. Tampa's stars need to keep their heads up.
Prediction:
I like Montreal at home. The crowd will be too much. Canadiens win 4-2.
