Slafkovsky completes hat trick in OT, Canadiens defeat Lightning in Game 1 of Eastern 1st Round

Anderson appeared to make it 2-0 at 10:43 of the second period when he tipped Mike Matheson‘s point shot from in front, but the goal was overturned after a video review determined Anderson hit the puck above the crossbar.

Raddysh tied it 1-1 with a power-play goal at 12:15. Kucherov fed a pass to Raddysh at the top of the left circle, where he put a one-timer by Dobes’ blocker.

Hagel gave Tampa Bay a 2-1 lead just 29 seconds later at 12:44, pouncing on a loose puck at the left of the net and lifting a backhand to the glove side from in tight.

“There’s a lot of ups and downs and you’ve got to go out there and continue to play hockey,” Hagel said. “I didn’t hate what we did a little bit 5-on-5, and we can take some positives, but at the end of the day, we’ve got to do better.”

Slafkovsky evened the score at 2-2 while on a power play at 19:36, scoring with a one-timer from the right circle that went over the outstretched glove of Vasilevskiy.

Slafkovsky then put Montreal up 3-2 with his second power-play goal at 5:56, taking a pass from Caufield and sneaking a snap shot from the slot under Vasilevskiy’s left pad.

“He’s been so good for us, and I feel like in the big moments he wants the puck,” Dobes said. “He’s a big-time player. I’m really proud of him and hopefully he’ll do the same thing on Tuesday.”​
