Lightning clinch 3rd Stanley Cup in franchise history after defeating Canadiens | CBC Sports

The Tampa Bay Lightning have secured the third Stanley Cup in franchise history after Ross Colton scored the lone goal in a 1-0 win over the Montreal Canadiens in Game 5 on Wednesday.

Colton’s vital marker, assisted by Ryan McDonagh and David Savard, came at 13:27 of the second period.

Lightning goaltender Andrei Vasilevskiy sparkled once again, stopping all 22 of Montreal’s shots.

Tampa Bay becomes the first NHL franchise to win back-to-back titles since the Pittsburgh Penguins accomplished the feat in 2016 and 2017.

More to come.
