3rd period: Maple Leafs 3, Lightning 3

22:14: Overtime we go. 60 minutes is not enough as the game is tied 3-3. Kucherov’s goal was the long account of the third.

22:08: Hagel had a WIDE net open but failed it. He goes through the fold and out the other side. Possibly blocked by TJ Brodie. Nick Paul fed him at the back door where he was standing alone.

22:02: Maple Leafs finally get the momentum back on their side. Two great saves by Vasilevskiy on Tavares and then Kerfoot after a rebound.

21:55: Back to the force, but it’s all Lightning right now. Capable of tying the match and having controlled everything in the third.

21:52: GOAL! Nikita Kucherov breaks one from Campbell to tie the game. Tampa Bay capitalizes on 5-on-3. The Lightning had to take advantage and are still on the power play for another 58 seconds.

21:50: uh oh. Another high stick call for the Maple Leafs as Kerfoot raises his stick high on Hedman. 5 against 3 for Lightning by 1:45. Sheldon Keefe is furious.

21:49: Lightning for the power play. Kampf off for high grip Cal Foote. Great moment in the third.

21:48: The Lightning push is here. Dominating the game so far in the third, but the Campbell has been excellent, especially when it comes to limiting second-chance opportunities.

21:43: Great stop from Campbell. Nick Paul throws Brandon Hagel in front of the net, Hagel and the Maple Leafs defender crash into the net, but Campbell keeps the puck out anyway. Tampa Bay controlling the game early and throwing everything at the Toronto goalie.

21:36: The last 20 minutes are underway. Lightning trying to avoid elimination.

2nd period: Maple Leafs 3, Lightning 2

21:17: Thus, the Maple Leafs have the advantage heading into third. They have been the better team in the third period of this series and they have all the momentum in the intermission. Quiet building in Tampa.

21:16: GOAL! Wow. John Tavares gets this one with 16 seconds left. The game starts in your own zone, but you can go up to the outside zone. William Nylander pushes into the net and finds Tavares alone near the goal slot. 26 seconds after Spezza’s goal.

21:13: GOAL! The Leafs tie the game with 34 seconds left in the second. A shot from John Tavares hits Vasilevskiy and goes up. As Vasilevskiy is trying to punch the puck away, Jason Spezza gets a piece and bounces off the net. Great goal for the Leafs, who have been the best team in the third period in this series.

21:11: Opportunities at both ends. Mikheyev enters alone, but with only one hand on the cane, he makes it easy for Vasilevskiy. Then, at the other end, a Stamkos shot ricochets up front, but nothing gets past Campbell.

21:07: After Lightning controlled the game for a moment, the Leafs get a 2v1. Alexander Kerfoot tries to beat Vasilevskiy under the arm, but is swallowed by the Lightning keeper.

20:58: GOAL! Auston Matthews puts the Maple Leafs on the board. Immediately after an offensive zone faceoff, Giordano fires a shot into the net and Matthews deflects Vasilevskiy’s puck with a sensational touch. The 2-1 Lightning lead is cut in half just 54 seconds after Cirelli’s count.

20:57: In the closing moments of the power play, Kampf gets a chance on the doorstep, but Vasilevskiy comes back in big. 8:25 to the end of the second.

20:54: GOAL! What a power play by Anthony Cirelli in few hands. He steals the puck in the neutral zone, spins Giordano and shoots it past Campbell. Horrible power play effort by the Maple Leafs and it’s 2-0 Lightning.

20:51: Lightning’s Cal Foote hitched out. Bad play by Brandon Hagel, who dropped the puck below the goal line to no one, causing Foote to hook Ilya Mikheyev.

20:49: A couple more big stops from Campbell, including Zach Bogosian’s deflection of a single shot from the spot. Kucherov’s big change creates two chances, including a backhand that misses the crossbar.

20:44: Timely saves from both Campbell and Vasilevskiy. Mark Giordano rebounds and Vasilevskiy can deflect it. At the other end, Campbell drives a shot through Ryan McDonagh’s traffic.

20:37: Nothing in Lightning’s favor on the power play. Sloppy passing hurt his ability to set anything up offensively.

20:35: The second period is underway.

End of 1st period: Lightning 1, Maple Leafs 0

20:17: Lightning lead after the first 20 minutes. A lot of physical play on both sides, but clean. Tampa began to take over towards the last five minutes, taking advantage of a bad turnover that led to the Palat’s goal and will start the 2nd period in a power play.

20:15: He struggles in front of the Leafs’ net with about 30 seconds remaining, but Campbell makes a couple of big saves. However, Morgan Reilly to the box for tripping, Lightning gets the first power play of the night.

20:11: GOAL! Ondrej Palat capitalizes on a Leafs neutral zone fumble, comes in on the right side and cleans up Campbell under the blocker. 1-0 Tampa with 2:22 left in the 1st. Alexander Kerfoot dropped the pass to no one in the neutral zone, leading Palat to go in unchallenged.

20:09: First penalties of the night. Justin Holl out for interference, but Nick Paul also called for embellishment. Questionable call to Paul, the game is 4 against 4.

20:01: Lightning set up play on a faceoff results in a Nikita Kucherov shot from the slot, but Campbell parries it. Still 0-0 with less than 8 minutes to go.

19:55: The best chance of the period so far, David Kampf went solo up front for the Maple Leafs. Pierre Engvall finds it just once, but the shot goes off Brayden Point’s foot and out of play.

19:48: Fast pace in the first period, both teams going back and forth. Fair and physical game, but without dangerous scoring chances yet. Only one beep so far over seven minutes.

19:41: Puck is down, Game 6 is on!
