Slow start dooms Lightning against poor Montreal club.

First Period
8:27 MTL Dach (13), (Suzuki)
14:00 MTL Drouin (2), (Gurianov, Barron)

Second Period
8:58 TB Point (44), (Stamkos, Sergachev)(PP)

Basically they didn’t show up in the First Period, got themselves into a 2-0 hole, and this time it bit them. I don’t know what more there is to say from the last 4-6 weeks. I don’t get the immaturity and the lack of urgency and focus when the playoffs are looming. If they’re assuming the light switch is just going to flick itself, they may be in for a rude awakening.

Mikey Eyssimont had 2 shots and 1 hit in 9:52.

Darren Raddysh was -3 with 1 shot and 1 hit in 14:05. He was as brutal as that stat line hints.
