TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Jake Evans replaced Joel Armia in the Montreal Canadiens lineup for Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final that they lost 5-1 to the Tampa Bay Lightning. Armia missed practice on the eve of the series when he went into protocol. He was cleared and flew on a private plane to Tampa hours before the game. Evans played just under 12 minutes in his first game since June 2. He was injured in Game 1 of the second round against Winnipeg on a charging play that led to Mark Scheifele being suspended. Armia has been a key part of Montreal’s penalty kill.
