Point men Victor Hedman and Darren Raddysh switched units, with Brayden Point and Jake Guentzel matched with Raddysh.

Jake Evans scores with 2:15 remaining as the Canadiens close the gap between the teams in the Atlantic Division.

Jake Guentzel, who won a Stanley Cup with Pittsburgh in 2017, had two assists to become the second player in Lightning history with at least 20 goals and 40 points in his first 40 games with the franchise. Guentzel signed a seven-year deal with the team in the offseason.

Nikita Kucherov swiped the puck and converted on a breakaway with three minutes remaining as the Tampa Bay Lightning broke a tie and claimed the season series from the host Pittsburgh Penguins, 5-2, on Sunday.

During his point streak, Kucherov has been peppering opposing netminders with rubber, racking up 37 shots over those 10 outings. With the Bolts set to face the Blackhawks in two of their next three games, Kucherov should continue to write his name on the scoresheet and should cruise to a third straight 100-plus point campaign.
