The second of those goals was the most impressive. Tampa Bay gained a 4-on-3 power play opportunity and threaded the puck on a beautiful passing sequence to take a 3-1 lead.

For good measure, the Lightning did almost the same thing on their fourth goal just minutes later. Montreal has a few leaks to plug before the end of the game.
