That noise you hear out of Montreal is a massive sigh of relief.

It emanated from Tampa Bay Lightning superstar Steven Stamkos, who finally scored his first goal of the 2015 Stanley Cup playoffs during Sunday's Game 2 against the Canadiens after dropping a nifty deke on Carey Price.

Stamkos owes defenseman Jason Garrison a huge thank you, as the play was made possible by a pretty incredible breakout pass.

The goal was Stamkos' first in nine playoff games after recording 43 in 82 regular season games.
