Here’s the latest I can share based on recent reporting:
- Canadiens beat Lightning in OT to take a 2-1 series lead in a first-round playoff series, with Lane Hutson scoring the OT winner and Kirby Dach contributing earlier. This was the third consecutive extra-time game in the series.[1]
- The series has been extremely tight, featuring late-game dramatics and high-pressure play in Montreal and Tampa Bay as each game has swung in OT or late moments.[1]
- If you’re following with a specific game or date in mind, I can pull brief summaries or key stats for that particular contest and provide a running update. For example, Game 4 was slated for Sunday night in Montreal, continuing the back-and-forth pattern in the series.[1]
Would you like a concise game-by-game recap of the series so far, or a focused update on upcoming game times and where to watch in Marseille? I can also pull box score highlights for the latest game if you specify which date you’re interested in.
