The 2021 Stanley Cup Final is set to begin on Monday, as the Tampa Bay Lightning face off against the Montreal Canadiens. While these two teams would usually play each other frequently in the regular season as members of the Atlantic Division, Game 1 will be the first time they have played this season, because the divisions were realigned due to COVID protocols.

Will the Lightning earn their second straight Cup, or will the underdog Canadiens continue their glorious run? Plus, which player will be awarded the Conn Smythe Trophy as playoff MVP? Our panelists make their picks below.
