The best-of-7 series is tied 1-1. Game 3 will be at Bell Centre in Montreal on Friday (7 p.m. ET; CBC, TVAS, SN, TNT, truTV, HBO MAX, The Spot).<\/p>\n
Hagel gave Tampa Bay a 1-0 lead at 8:40 of the first period. His initial shot from the slot was blocked by Kaiden Guhle, who was playing without a stick, but the Lightning forward recovered his own rebound at the top of the left circle and beat Dobes with a slap shot to the far post.<\/p>\n
Hutson tied it 1-1 with his first career playoff goal at 16:11. He scored with a one-timer from the point that went under Vasilevskiy’s blocker arm while on a power play.<\/p>\n
Anderson gave Montreal a 2-1 lead at 18:36 of the second period after Jake Evans won a battle along the end boards. Phillip Danault picked up the puck near the left post and sent a short backhand feed out front to Anderson, who chipped it over Vasilevskiy’s glove.<\/p>\n
Kucherov tied it 2-2 at 12:33 of the third period. Hagel’s shot from the high slot went wide of the net, but Kucherov took the puck off the end boards and tucked a wraparound inside the right post before Dobes could get across.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Anthony Cirelli won a face-off back to Moser, who skated across the blue line and down to the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":620233,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[433],"tags":[49,48,448,82],"class_list":{"0":"post-620232","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nhl","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-nhl","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/620232","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=620232"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/620232\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/620233"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=620232"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=620232"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=620232"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
