TAMPA, Fla. — When Brayden Point poked the puck into the offensive zone, he found himself surrounded by four Montreal uniforms.
No big deal.
The Lightning’s leading goal scorer then reached out to put the puck on his stick, used his speed to weave through traffic, put a move on Montreal defenseman Joel Edmundson before sliding the puck under his stick. He set himself up to whip a wrist shot past Canadiens goaltender Jake Allen, leaving 19,902 jaws dropped at Amalie Arena on Wednesday night and giving Tampa Bay a three-goal second-period lead.
