The Tampa Bay Lightning fell to the Canadiens 3-2 in regulation, losing their home ice advantage and putting themselves in a poor position to advance in the Eastern Conference playoffs. Tampa is now down 3-2 in the series and must win on the road in Montreal to force a game 7 back in Tampa. The Bolts lost in regulation, here's how. It starts with the energy, the building the Lightning on the ice, all of it. The Bolts looked sluggish, like the physicality of the series had gotten to them. The Habs got out ahead of Tampa multiple times, Vasilevskiy let an easy save go through for a goal, and the Lightning simply got beat. Montreal won the board battles, penetrated Tampa's defense for easy looks, and dominated the faceoffs as well. Without Nick Paul, Montreal won 33 of 50 faceoffs. The right team won tonight.
