Montreal Canadiens stunned the Tampa Bay Lightning 4-3 in overtime during Game 1 of their Stanley Cup Playoffs first-round series on April 19, taking a 1-0 lead thanks to Juraj Slafkovsky's hat trick and Jakub Dobes' strong goaltending (.901 SV%). Tampa Bay, holding home-ice advantage as the higher Atlantic Division seed (50-26-6 vs. Montreal's 48-24-10), rallied twice but faltered without top defenseman Victor Hedman (IR-LT) and Pontus Holmberg (injured); Canadiens miss Noah Dobson (thumb). Game 2 looms Tuesday at Amalie Arena, pitting Andrei Vasilevskiy (.912 SV%) against Dobes in a rematch, with Tampa's playoff pedigree—Kucherov, Point, Stamkos—facing Montreal's surging young core of Caufield, Suzuki, and Hutson amid tight discipline key for both.
