Boston leads Toronto 1-0 early in the first period…

And gotta pull for Nashville tonight. The Preds are playing the Thrash.

Atlanta
Doesn’t have one fot he best PP’s in the league though. Montreal does…

Not that I'm listening to the announcers

After one, Montreal is leading the Lightning 2-0.
Tampa Bay is being out-shot 10-7; Bochenski & Lecavalier have two shots each. The Lightning have won 58% of their faceoffs; Thompson is 3-2 (60%). They’re also out-hitting the Canadiens 8-4; Ohlund & Veilleux each have two hits. Ohlund & Tanguay each have a turnover; Downie & Bochenski each have a steal; and Lecavalier, Walker, & Hedman each have a blocked shot.
