The Canadiens were trying to be the first Canadian team to win the Stanley Cup since 1993, but it wasn't meant to be. Tonight, Amalie Arena's capacity was 18,300 so it will be a special moment for all involved. Last season the Lightning won the Cup in the NHL’s bubble so they didn’t have a chance to celebrate with their fans. The Lightning's closeout win was a strong defensive performance where Tampa allowed 22 shots on goal. Tampa beat the Montreal Canadiens 1-0 in Game 5 to win their Stanley Cup Final series 4-1. The Lightning are back-to-back Stanley Cup champions.
