TORONTO (SNN-TV) – The Lightning were in, seemingly, a must-win scenario to keep their footing in their first round series with the Maple Leafs.
Victor Hedman had a goal and three assists for his first four-point playoff game and the Tampa Bay Lightning beat the Toronto Maple Leafs 5-3 on Wednesday night in Game 2 to even the first-round series.
Nikita Kucherov added a goal and two assists and Brayden Point, Corey Perry and Brandon Hagel also scored for two-time defending Stanley Cup champion Tampa Bay. Andrei Vasilevskiy made 31 saves in a bounce-back performance after the Lightning dropped the opener 5-0.
The Lightning will look to take the series lead tomorrow night, as the series heads to Amalie Arena for Game 3.
