Tampa Bay came out on the short end of a 3-2 final in overtime to prolong the series, but the Lightning now get a chance to skate around with the Cup in front of its own fans as opposed to last year in the "bubble". It's looking more like a Gentleman's Sweep as the Lightning won't get pushed around like what happened against the Canadiens on Monday. Montreal was outshot 34-21, but Carey Price set the tone stopping 12 shots in the first period, and the Canadiens scored first for the first time in the series. Tampa Bay has won 13 in a row in the postseason following a loss dating to last season and the Canadiens have lost the past seven meetings at Tampa Bay and 14 of the past 17 meetings overall. The Lightning are 68-25 their last 93 games playing with one day of rest, and 49-19 overall as home favorites. Take the Lightning.
