Tampa Bay. Instead, it's the Lightning who are on the brink of elimination after the Leafs stole Games 3 and 4 in Florida. Toronto scored with one minute left in regulation Saturday and erased a three-goal third-period deficit last night before taking both contests in OT.
As the series shifts back to Toronto for Thursday night, the Leafs are one win away from their first playoff series victory in 19 years. The Oilers' firepower: Speaking of almost being down 3-1 in a series, Edmonton was staring into that abyss after giving up three unanswered goals in the opening period of Game 4 on Sunday night in Los Angeles.
But Oilers superstars Leon Draisaitl and Connor McDavid stepped up with, respectively, two goals and two assists in the second period to even the score, and Edmonton went on to win in OT to square the series.
