Lightning Force Game 7 with OT Win Over Canadiens

The Tampa Bay Lightning defeated the Montreal Canadiens 1-0 in overtime Friday night, forcing their Eastern Conference First Round series to a seventh game.

The game-winning goal came at 9:03 of overtime when Gage Goncalves scored on a loose puck after Brandon Hagel passed to Dominic James, who fired at the net. Tampa Bay's Andrei Vasilevskiy made 30 saves while Jakub Dobes stopped 32 shots for Montreal in a game that featured the fourth overtime and sixth one-goal outcome of the series.

Despite playing at home in Game 7 on Sunday, the Lightning may not have an advantage as the home team has lost four of the six games in this tightly contested matchup. truewildgame.com
