Brayden Point leads Lightning over Canadiens in 4-3 shootout win
MONTREAL — The Montreal Canadiens showed they still have some fight left in them after going toe to toe with the NHL’s best team.
The Canadiens pushed the league-leading Tampa Bay Lightning to a shootout Saturday, where they lost 4-3 on Brayden Point’s winner.
“They’re one of the best teams in the league, if not the best,” said Jonathan Drouin of his former club. “Second time we take them to overtime at home (this season). We played really well today, dominated at times. We skated well, we were on the puck, moved it well.
“We played a good game tonight.”
