Lightning, 'Hawks score Game 1 wins
MONTREAL — Nikita Kucherov scored at 2:06 of the second overtime — on a play that replays clearly showed was offside — to give the Tampa Bay Lightning a 2-1 victory over the Montreal Canadiens on Friday night in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference semifinal series.
After the officials missed the offside call, Kucherov took a pass in the slot from Valtteri Filppula and beat goalie Carey Price with a wrist shot on the first shot of the period.
Blackhawks 4, Wild 3
