Numbers Game: Canadiens @ Lightning

TAMPA - Here's a numerical look at Saturday night's game between the Canadiens and the Tampa Bay Lightning at Amalie Arena

1 - Number of changes head coach Claude Julien made to his lineup, with forward Matthew Peca taking Nicolas Deslauriers' spot on the fourth line. This was Peca's first game since December 17 against the Boston Bruins. The Petawawa, ON native is playing his second game against his former team. In 26 contests this season with the Habs, Peca has 10 points (3G, 7A).
4 - When Andrew Shaw opened the scoring at 9:44 of the first period, it was the fourth game the Canadiens had scored on the power play in their last five games. Before Brendan Gallagher beat Philipp Grubauer on the power play in Colorado, the Habs hadn't lit the lamp with the man advantage since December 1 against the New York Rangers.

11 - Number of goals Shaw has so far this season, besting his total from last season in just 35 games. Shaw becomes the fifth player to reach double digits in goals after Brendan Gallagher, Max Domi, Tomas Tatar, and Jonathan Drouin. He scored two on Saturday at Amalie Arena. It was his third two-goal game in a Habs uniform.
3 - With a helper on Shaw's goal, Tomas Tatar extended his points streak to three games. He has five points during the string. He also added an assist on Brett Kulak's second-period goal to tie the game at four.
6 - Jordie Benn had a goal and an assist in the first period, making it the sixth time in his career he had collected at least two points in a game. The last time he did it was November 7, 2017, when he had a goal and an assist in a 3-2 win in the Vegas Golden Knights' first-ever game at the Bell Centre.

3 - Number of games in which Phillip Danault has collected at least two assists this season. The Habs centerman earned a pair of helpers on the Kenny Agostino and Jordie Benn goals in the first frame, and on Kulak's goal in the second. Danault has 20 assists so far this season, exceeding his total from last season when he had 17 assists in 52 games.
1 - Kulak's goal at 12:19 was his first as a Canadien, in his 15th game with the big club. It was his third career NHL goal. The 24-year-old Edmonton native joined Montreal by way of a trade from the Calgary Flames in exchange for Rinat Valiev and Matt Taormina just prior to the start of the season.
