Maple Leafs center Auston Matthews stumbled at center ice allowing for the Lightning to get control of the puck. Tampa Bay forward Brandon Hagel managed to get the puck to Brayden Point in front of goaltender Jack Campbell and Point slid the puck underneath Campbell for the game-winner.

It was a bit of a redemption play for Hagel. He missed a wide-open shot wide right in the third period, which could have been the game-winner had it gone in.

The Lightning moved to 18-0 in games following a loss over their last three postseasons. But on Thursday night, it didn’t come easy.
