Juraj Slafkovsky's Playoff Hat Trick
The Canadiens, seeking their first playoff series win in five years, rallied from a two-goal deficit to stun the Lightning on their home ice.
Slafkovsky, the former number one overall pick, demonstrated his elite scoring ability with three power-play goals.
Tampa Bay coach Jon Cooper expressed frustration over his team's 'stupid' penalties that allowed Montreal to capitalize.
Game 2 is scheduled for Tuesday night as the Lightning look to avoid a 2-0 hole in the first-round series.
