Lightning win OT thriller to force Game 7 vs. Maple Leafs

The Tampa Bay Lightning have forced a Game 7 after Brayden Point scored late in the overtime period to give his team a 4-3 win over the Toronto Maple Leafs.

The win denied the Maple Leafs a chance to win a playoff series for the first time since 2004.

Game 7 will be on Saturday night in Toronto and can been seen on CBC, Sportsnet and SN NOW.

Nikita Kucherov tied the game on the power play midway through the third period as the Maple Leafs looked in control, leading 3-2 entering the final frame.

The Lightning initially jumped out to a two-goal lead on goals from Ondrej Palat and Anthony Cirelli but a goal from Auston Matthews and a pair from John Tavares gave the Maple Leafs the lead.
