1* free play on TB@MTL to go UNDER the total..

The Tampa Bay Lightning will be looking to complete the sweep of this Eastern Conference semifinals series against the Montreal Canadiens tonight. Two of the first three meetings in the series have gone under the total and I expect another low-scoring contest as the Habs will be fighting for their post-season life.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Ben Bishop - The Lightning's netminder has been nothing short of sensational between the pipes, allowing just 17 goals over 10 starts in the post-season. His success against the Habs goes all the way back throughout the regular season as he's compiled a 1.43 GAA during an eight-game win streak against the Canadiens this season alone.

2. Situational - The under is 4-1-1 in the Lightning last six at home and a perfect 4-0 in the Canadiens last four away from home.

3. X-Factor - The Habs have converted on just one of their 28 chances to play on the man advantage so far in the playoffs.
