Lightning grind out key comeback.
TB-4
CHI-3 (OT)
Jonas Johansson allowed three goals on 14 shots for the OT win. Got caught leaning the wrong way around a screen on the third goal. Didn’t see much of any rubber thereafter.
First Period

19:52 TB Paul (14), (Hedman, Hagel)

Overtime

Nikita Kucherov and Jake Guentzel were the game’s first and third stars.
It was not pretty, but outshooting Chicago 40-14 including holding the Blackhawks to just a single SOG in the Third Period, it was ultimately deserved. Survive and continue to advance through this busy schedule with two of your RHD out hurt.
Max Crozier was -1 with 4 shots and 2 hits in 20:51.
