Radulov had a goal on three shots and blocked two shots in the Canadiens' 4-3 overtime loss to the Lightning on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Radulov finished a play started by Paul Byron's forechecking for his seventh goal of the season. The Russian forward had gone six games without a point, but with new linemates Wednesday, coach Michel Therrien's line shakeup had the desired effect. Injuries have left the Habs thin up front, a situation that has elevated fourth-liners Byron (11 goals) and Torrey Mitchell (seven), who are now on a line with Radulov but have limited exposure as top-six forwards. Whether those guys can keep up the offensive pace until Alex Galchenyuk (knee), David Desharnais (knee) and Andrew Shaw (concussion) return is uncertain.
