Amalie Arena

The Tampa Bay Lightning were outshot by the Canadiens but made the most of their chances in a 3-1 victory at Amalie Arena.

The Lighting led 2-1 entering the third period but pulled away to take a 1-0 lead in the Stanley Cup Final.

For the second time this year, the Tampa Bay region is the center of attention for professional sports.
