The Tampa Bay Lightning rallied from a two-goal deficit and scored three straight goals on Sunday afternoon for a huge 3-2 win over the New York Rangers. The ...

"It was certainly nice to see Kuch on his game, and there's not many games where he's not, but if he doesn't feel like it's up to his standards, the next game is usually a really good one and tonight was another example of that." "They got a couple of power play goals, but I think the five-on-five game was in our favor tonight," Stamkos said. It was the 20th three-point night of Kucherov's playoff career, becoming just the sixth player in NHL history to hit that mark. No player in franchise history has more playoff assists (97) or playoff points (147). Hedman is closest in playoff points overall with 101, which is the 13th-most playoff points by a defenseman in NHL history. The Lightning looked a lot more like themselves in Game 3, defending well and playing strong at five-on-five. "For the guys that know Pally and have been here as long as I have, it's not surprising to us to see him come up clutch in those moments. Going into the third period down by one while trailing 2-0 in the series, the Lightning showed no signs of giving up. He's been doing it in his career and he's usually the third guy talked about on the lines he plays on, but he comes through with the statistics you just banged out now. He scored three game-winning goals in that year's postseason and went on to add two game-winners in the playoffs last year. It was a dominant third period for Tampa Bay, who outshot New York by a count of 19-6 in the final frame with the Lightning attempting 32 shots and the Rangers attempting 11. After a massive effort from the Bolts on Sunday afternoon, let's take a look at three things that carried them to a big Game 3 win. With less than a minute to play, the Bolts were still pushing the pace and throwing pucks at Shesterkin.
