#GoBolts lead #LeafsForever 3-1 after one period. Kucherov with two goals and an assist. ABB with his first goal of the season. Even though they were outshot 17-9, best period of the season so far for the #TBLightning?
Hagel nearly scores shorthanded and then becomes a one-man penalty kill, pinning the puck behind the Leafs net and killing a ton of time. #Bolts go to the first intermission with a 3-1 lead over Toronto, who will open the second period with four seconds left on the power play.
Eyssimont‘a stick breaks as he tries to take a shot, doesn’t drop it and makes an attempt to play the puck with 1:56 left, Leafs to the power play
#Bolts are going back to the penalty kill with 1:56 left in the first. Eysimmont's stick snapped on a shot and he didn't drop it quick enough, so he goes to the box for playing the puck with a broken stick.
Eyssimont to the box for playing with a broken stick. #LeafsForever on the power play.

Kucherov again. 4-2 #Bolts with 15:18 left in the third. Nick Paul has been so big on that first unit. Makes a great power move in front, then wins a puck battle with the help of Point and puts the puck on a platter for Kucherov to score his second of the night.
Paul to Kucherov = PPG 4-2 Tampa Bay Lightning
