It's time for the Canadiens vs Lightning live stream, and we (and everyone but Tampa Bay) are hoping this won't be such a one-sided an affair as the last one. Of course, we're not going to get on the ice to stop Nikita Kucherov from popping off again. The Lightning star posted a pair of goals and an assist in an effort that led him to exclusive company: only he, Wayne Gretzky and Mario Lemieux have scored 30-plus points in back-to-back postseasons.
Kucherov set up Bolts captain Steven Stamkos for their final goal of the game, which at 5-1 was just rubbing salt in the wound. This stellar performance followed doubts about Kucherov's health, after he played only one shift in Game 6 of the series against the Islanders.

That said, Kucherov didn't even score until the third period. Tampa Bay earned its first lead when Erik Cernak found net with 13:41 left in period 1.
Then, Blake Coleman and Yanni Gourde collaborated on goal 2 in the second period. The Habs got their first and only goal of the game thanks to a Ben Chiarot slap shot. But that was where it ended, as Kucherov's back-to-backs and assist sealed the deal for Tampa Bay.
