The Lightning did get some reinforcements, as Nick Paul and Charle-Edouard D’Astous re-enter the lineup for Game 6, but they’re going to need consistency throughout the lineup to even up the series.
Noah Dobson was rumored to be nearing a return after joining the Canadiens’ morning skate, but he will remain out of Montreal’s lineup.
The game will be broadcast on ESPN2 across the United States and locally on The Spot. For those in Canada, it can be viewed on CBC, Sportsnet or TVA Sports.
