First Period

1-0

Auston Matthews scored early in the first with this rush goal, a rare one for him. Great transition up the ice from OEL and Knies. OEL has been on a hot streak and Knies had another big game tonight.

Nylander sprung McMann for a chance midway through the period. The finish didn't come together.

Shots were back and forth in the first period, but no other scoring.

Second Period

Nice.

2-0

Another breakaway! This one from William Nylander. You can see Brandon Hagel thought his team had the puck and tried to get behind the defender. That created the wide open space the other way for Willy.

2-1

Tampa Bay responded quickly to keep the game within one. Somehow, Nick Paul Has Returned.

3-1

In the dying seconds of the second, Matthew Knies scored his first of the game to restore the two-goal lead! Great defense-to-offense, Berube will love that. Knies is also really excellent in the slot.

Third Period

Clever move from Matthews, but it didn't stick.

3-2

Darren Raddysh scores to bring the Lightning back within one once again.

Pontus Holmberg went hard into the boards during one of many odd-man rushes against the Lightning. He didn't return to the game after this. We'll see if he's okay tomorrow, but Berube said he'll be fine.

4-2

A second goal for Knies also in front of the net, this time on the power play!

DONKEH! GET OUTAH MAH SWAMP!

4-3

Nick Paul is really quite annoying.

Chris Tanev with a block to protect the lead. And yes, it's still a day that ends in "y".

Seriously with this guy.

5-3

ENG for Mitch Marner and that's the game.

McMann almost had a second one, but five was enough to beat the Lightning.
