Canadiens blow lead, Johnson scores in OT to lift Lightning
TAMPA, Fla. — Montreal coach Michel Therrien was short and direct after the Canadiens blew a late lead and lost in overtime to the Tampa Bay Lightning.
Tyler Johnson scored his second goal of the game 1:36 into the extra session and the Lightning rallied from a two-goal deficit in the third period to beat the Canadiens 4-3 on Wednesday night.
“No positive,” Therrien said. “It’s unacceptable.”
Montreal is 15-2-1 when ahead entering the third period.
