Tampa Bay at Montreal

Montreal is in bounce back mode after losing Game 1 at home, 2-1. This team is tops in the NHL in goals allowed and seventh in penalty killing. That was a rare Tampa Bay win against a good team away from home with the Lightning 11-31 on the road against a team with a home winning percentage of greater than .600. Tampa Bay lost two playoff games at the Bell Center one year ago when they were swept by this Montreal squad. The Canadiens are 5-1 playing on one days rest and 39-19 versus the Atlantic Division. Montreal is also 41-20 against the Eastern Conference, so grab the talented home team in bounce back mode. Play Montreal.
