A quick look at what games will be on what channels in tonight’s Stanley Cup playoff action…

Lightning at Canadiens, 7:00 p.m. ET on NBCSN

Montreal swept Tampa Bay in the first round of the 2014 playoffs, but this year’s series might be different. Tyler Johnson and Nikita Kucherov took big steps forward in 2014-15 to give the Lightning more offensive depth and goaltender Ben Bishop is healthy this time around. That being said, the player to watch tonight will be Lightning captain Steven Stamkos after he failed to score a goal in the first round.

Wild at Blackhawks, 9:30 p.m. ET on NBCSN

This is the third year in a row Chicago will face Minnesota in the playoffs. The Blackhawks won the last two series, but as is the case with the Lightning, there are reasons for the Wild to think this year might be different. For Minnesota, the single biggest change is goaltender Devan Dubnyk. Since acquiring him on Jan. 14, Minnesota has been one of the best teams in the league. Dubnyk posted a 1.78 GAA and .936 save percentage in 39 regular season contests with the Wild. He allowed six goals against the Blues in Game 4, but was far more hit than miss in that series and can be credited as one of the reasons Minnesota advanced. Corey Crawford, who temporarily lost the starting gig to Scott Darling due to Crawford’s rough start to the first round, will play between the pipes in Game 1.
