Know the Opponents: Habs Eyes on the Prize

Look, there is no reason to get too crazy with a preview today. Simply put, the Lightning have to do what they haven’t been able to do since the NHL took their goal away against Pittsburgh – score a goal.

Pretty goal, ugly goal, power-play goal, short-handed goal, any goal. It doesn’t matter how, they just need one to go into the net and count. Once that happens, more will come.

That’s it. That’s the preview.
