TAMPA, Fla. — Ondrej Polat scored an unassisted goal late in the third period Wednesday night, helping the Tampa Bay Lightning secure a 3-1 win over Montreal in Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Finals.

Blake Coleman scored on a diving, one-handed buzzer beater at end of the second period to give Tampa Bay a 2-1 lead over the Canadiens.

Coleman scored off a rush feed from Barclay Goodrow with 1.1 seconds left before the second intermission, sending the Lightning to the locker room up after one of their worst periods of the playoffs. They were outshot 16-7 in the second and 29-13 overall.

That has forced Vezina Trophy finalist goaltender Andrei Vasilevskiy to be Tampa Bay’s best player. He was serenaded often with chants of “Va-sy! Va-sy!” from the crowd of over 18,000 at Amalie Arena for making save after difficult save.

Vasilevskiy was perfect except for Nick Suzuki’s power-play goal midway through the second on a weird bounce.
