MONTREAL - Tampa Bay Lightning coach Guy Boucher said he didn't have to circle Wednesday night's game against the Montreal Canadiens on his calendar.
"It was staring me right in the face," Boucher said in a conference call from Tampa Monday.
The game represents a homecoming on several levels for Boucher. He was born in Quebec, graduated from McGill University in Montreal and made his professional coaching debut last season when the Canadiens hired him to guide their American Hockey League team in Hamilton.
