Another overtime led to another backward step for the Tampa Bay Lightning in the NHL playoffs Friday night.

Lane Hutson guided the puck through a crowd of players at 2:09 of overtime for a 3-2 win for Montreal. The win gives the Canadiens a 2-1 lead with another home game on Sunday.

The Bolts continue to struggle to score in the playoffs. They got goals from Braydon Point and Brandon Hagel Frdiay night, but they were shot out in the third period.

Hagel's goal gave them a one-goal lead in the second period, but Montreal caught them in the third and then won their second overtime of the series in extra time.

Andrei Vasileveskiy stopped 26 of 29 shots.

Sunday's game will be at 7 p.m. at the Bell Centre.
