The Montreal Canadiens battle it out on the ice against the Tampa Bay Lightning as part of the 2015 Stanley Cup playoffs on Tuesday, May 12 at 7:30 p.m. EST at the Amalie Arena in Florida. Read on to see where fans can watch and listen to a live stream of tonight's Eastern Conference Semifinals online and catch up-to-date feeds and coverage on highlight plays and scores.

The Lightning defeated the Detroit Red Wings in the first bout of semifinals, and will now fight for victory against Montreal (after the Canadiens beat-out the Ottawa Senators). Heading into Game 6, Tampa Bay leads the series 3-2.

Check out an official game preview at FoxSports.

A total of four teams now remain in the playoffs. The Washington Capitals face-off against the New York Rangers in highly-anticipated Game 7 on Wednesday (May 13). That series is currently tied.

According to SB Nation sports reporter Matt Drake:

Down 3-0 in the series, when P.K. Subban said that the Canadiens have a chance to do something special, I'd doubt that much of the fan base was overly hopeful that they would succeed. Two wins later, they have reinvigorated a fan base that desperately wants them to succeed, and are putting some serious pressure on the Tampa Bay Lightning.

While it was not as convincing as the game four blowout, the Habs played admirably in game five, controlled most of the play at even strength, and earned at least one more game. If they can keep it going, they'll get the opportunity to return to Montreal for a seventh and final game, in front of a crowd that is likely to be one of the most raucous you'll ever see.

First, they'll have to take another game at Amalie arena, and while another six goal performance would be amazing, it is doubtful that Tampa will make things that easy for them. Expect an epic battle, as the Lightning are surely just as desperate to avoid going back to Montreal as the Habs are to make that happen.

The game will be broadcasted live on local channels CBC, NBCS, and TVA, but fans can also listen in on the radio at 97.1 The Ticket, CJBK, 98,5 FM, and TSN 690.
