After losing the first game of the series and the Lightning lost to Toronto 0:5 in the opening match, John Cooper's team rehabilitated themselves in the second game (5:3). Viktor Hedman scored a goal and three assists, Nikita Kucherov had a goal and two assists, and Andrei Vasilevsky made 31 saves, improving his statistics ruined by the first game of the series.
In the second game, the win over Toronto was a record for Tampa Bay. It was the 14th consecutive playoff win for the Lightning after a loss. The reigning champion didn't lose twice in a row in the playoffs for the third season.
Toronto Maple Leafs
Losing one game out of two at home, Sheldon Keefe's team now needs at least one win in Tampa Bay. Otherwise, even after losing their fifth game in Canada, the Lightning will be playing their sixth game to win the series on home ice.
Mitch Marner scored for the Maple Leafs in the second game, although the score was already 1:5. The star forward broke his 18 consecutive playoff games without a goal. If Marner keeps it up, Toronto will have a chance to beat Tampa Bay.
Expert Betting Tips
Toronto has scored eight goals in the first two games of the series. The Maple Leafs have a great attack, but for the third time in a row, the best goaltender of the modern era is unlikely to be able to score. The upcoming encounter will probably be less productive than the first two. The Leafs will be very careful, or Sheldon Keefe's team won't be able to beat Tampa Bay at the Amalie Arena.
