TAMPA, Fla. \u2014 The Montreal Canadiens and Tampa Bay Lightning played to a 2-2 tie through regulation on Tuesday night and are headed to overtime in Game 2 of their first-round playoff series.<\/p>\n
Lane Hutson and Josh Anderson scored for the Canadiens, who lead the best-of-seven series 1-0 after a 4-3 overtime win in the series opener on Sunday.<\/p>\n
Brandon Hagel became the first Tampa Bay player to have a \u201cGordie Howe hat trick\u201d in the playoffs, with a goal, an assist and a fight. Nikita Kucherov scored at 12:33 of the third period to tie the game at 2.<\/p>\n
