Ryan Malone made a strong and favorable impression on new Tampa Bay Lightning coach Guy Boucher right from the start of training camp. Malone scored 4:09 into overtime to give Tampa Bay a 4-3 victory over the Montreal Canadiens on Wednesday night. Malone, who assisted on Brett Clark's power-play goal early in the second and Steven Stamkos' man-advantage tally in the third, flipped a loose puck past Carey Price as Tampa Bay came back twice to spoil Montreal's home opener. "He was a force out there," Boucher said. "I love that guy. I think he's outstanding. He's real smart. I didn't know before coming in how smart he was. He plays the penalty kill, the power play, five-on-five, he's reliable, pays the price in front of the team's net, he blocks shots, so he's one of those guys that you need to win those games in tight moments." http://scores.espn.go.com/nhl/recap?gameId=301013010
