MONTREAL — It's not a must-win game, but it's close.
After a heartbreaking loss in Game 2, in which the Montreal Canadiens outshot and outplayed the Tampa Bay Lightning, the series has returned to the Bell Centre and the Habs sorely need a win.
Victory would set up the chance to tie the series in Game 4. Losing would mean having to win four games in a row to be crowned the champions, while facing off against a Lightning juggernaut that is defending their Stanley Cup title.
