Montreal nemesis Chris Lee rears his head and Ryan Callahan ties the game up at 1 on a powerplay goal from Norris Trophy candidate, Victor Hedman and NHL rookie of the month for March, Ondrej Palat. I would kind of hate to see Chris Lee assigned to ref a full series between these two teams, but the storylines would be great.

Carey Price and Ben Bishop continue to play strongly with the two combining for 39 stops.

Some predicted a blowout for this game, but what’s the over/under on this game going to overtime? Or a shootout?

How happy do you think Rene Bourque is about playing 6:57 tonight? He’s on pace for 10:33 tonight which would be his second lowest total for the season. I guess it pays to complain.
