Bolts Hold Off Canadiens 5-4, Extend Winning Streak to Four Games

The Lightning aim to extend their three-game win streak against the Canadiens after a 6-1 victory in their last meeting, holding a +25 scoring differential this season.

  • On Sunday in Tampa, the Lightning host the Montreal Canadiens at 5 p.m. EST, aiming to extend their three-game win streak in the teams' second meeting this season.
  • After a 6-1 blowout in the previous meeting, Tampa Bay Lightning show a strong scoring profile with 121 goals for, 96 goals against, and a +25 scoring differential.
  • Expect attention on top scorers and the published line: Nikita Kucherov, Tampa Bay scorer, has 15 goals, 32 assists, and Cole Caufield, Montreal forward, has 18 goals, 18 assists, with BETMGM sportsbook listing Lightning-152, Canadiens +127.
  • Standings and momentum hinge on this result as Tampa Bay Lightning seek a third straight win with a 5-3-1 division mark and 21-13-3 overall record while Montreal Canadiens aim to rebound.
  • Scoring reliance and schedule strain could shape performance as the Montreal Canadiens hold a 17-4-5 record in games with three or more goals and face a 21-day stretch with 12 games.
