The Tampa Bay Lightning are back at Benchmark International Arena, as their playoff series against the Montreal Canadiens returns to Tampa tied at two games apiece.
The Lightning will be looking to earn the first consecutive wins of the series, coming off of a big win in Montreal in Game 4.
Nick Paul was a late scratch for the Lightning due to illness. The Canadiens on the other hand have made wholesale lineup changes heading into Game 5.
The game is being broadcast on ESPN2 in the United States and The Spot in the local Tampa market. In Canada, it'll be broadcast on CBC, Sportsnet, and TVA Sports.
