Tampa Bay at Montreal

Streaky Tampa Bay is on another losing streak after scoring only four goals in its current four-game skid, after previously winning seven in a row. In the last two games, the Lightning have been shut out by 2-0 scores against the New York Islanders and Toronto, and now they have to play the second of a back-to-back. They have lost four of five against teams with losing home records. Montreal has won 14 of 19 against the Atlantic Division and five of its past eight games overall, although the Canadiens look to bounce back from a 4-3 loss to St. Louis on Sunday. Jakub Dobes will start for Montreal, and he is 10-4-2 this season. Jonas Johansson might have to play on consecutive nights unless Tampa Bay decides to go with Brandon Halverson, who would be making his first appearance of the season. Andrei Vasilevskiy is out with an injury. Take the Canadiens on the puck line.
