Game Coverage

It is fitting that the only goals in regulation were scored by Steven Stamkos and Auston Matthews, the two best shooters in the game (NHL?). Overtime decided a contest of intense, grinding effort from every player on both teams. This is how it happened: First Period Tampa takes the first

Toronto Maple Leafs @ Tampa Bay Lightning 07:00 PM at Amalie Arena Watch on: TBS, CBC, TVAS, SN, BSSUN

The Leafs lead the series three games to two and have two more tries at closing out this first-round series. As was clear last night, most series in this year's first round are tough contests going to six or seven games to solve.

Maybe we weren't as close as we thought we would be. One more night. Until then, check out Friday night's schedule of hockey goodness. There are some NHL playoff games, and Leafs prospects in the WHL and OHL playing tonight.

Andrei Vasilevskiy plays his best game of the playoffs to take the series back to Tampa Bay. The Maple Leafs can't convert on their chances, and struggled, albeit a lot less, at what we used to call driving play. Auston Matthews tried his best, but he couldn't do it twice in a row.

The Leafs want to bottle up that Lightning and put it on the shelf for another year. And no one thinks that's going to be easy. The fourth win is a hard thing to get.

'Twas the night before game five...

The Leafs are in a great spot and have two days off, but the other teams are playing and I'm comfortable enough to spend tonight relaxing and enjoying the games. So let's chat about them here.

The Toronto Maple Leafs let the Tampa Bay Lightning get a 4-1 lead, but we all know how dangerous that score is with Toronto....

PPP talks our way though game 4 of the Leafs-Lightning series.

With the series at two games to one in the Leafs favour, Tampa can't take back home ice advantage with a win. If the Leafs win, they take a one-game-wins-it series home to Toronto.

The Leafs started out well, and then deteriorated while Tampa controlled the play. But Ilya Samsonov and Tampa's poor shot quality combined to give the better team through 58 minutes a one goal lead. Ryan O'Reilly tied it up and then it was a whole new game: Overtime.

The Maple Leafs clobbered the Lightning on Thursday, can they do it again?

The Leafs are leading the series against Tampa with a goal differential of +1 after one ten-goal game and one nine-goal game. So who wins game three?

Hello to everyone and welcome to day #5 of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Last night was great! The Leafs ran the Lightning all the way out of their building and back to Amalie, where the series will pick up on Saturday.

The Toronto Maple Leafs gave the Tampa Bay Lightning a taste of their own medicine and tie their first round series.

Put last night out of your mind and enjoy the opportunity to laugh at other teams losing, because four other teams will lose tonight.
