It was his first goal in 19 postseason games. Marner made it 4-0 at 16:39 when he received a pass as the trailer on a rush and scored from the slot with Vasilevskiy out of position. After Victor Hedman couldn't control the puck at the blue line, Kampf outraced the defenseman for it in the neutral zone before scoring on a breakaway. Keefe had called timeout prior to the 5-on-3 power play, and Toronto scored 11 seconds into the advantage.ĭavid Kampf extended the lead to 3-0 at 9:27 with a shorthanded goal. Matthews made it 2-0 at 6:18 of the second period, scoring with a one-timer from the left circle off a pass from Marner, who was behind the net, on a 5-on-3 power play. Jake Muzzin put Toronto in front 1-0 at 18:19 when he shot glove side through a screen from the left point.

"We had a couple power plays, obviously the five minute one, and some plays that were clicking the last stretch of the season were hitting a stick, hitting a skate, but at the same time, they did a good job executing on those PKs, and they gained some momentum," Stamkos said. Lightning captain Steven Stamkos said failing to score on the two early power plays was a big momentum swing. 'Soupy' (Campbell) was incredible, and we were able to capitalize on some chances." "Our penalty kill was huge tonight, I think that brought us a lot of momentum. "(We) played through a long five-minute penalty kill there," Matthews said. Toronto had already killed off a minor penalty after TJ Brodie was called for hooking at 2:13. Kyle Clifford was assessed a major penalty and game misconduct for boarding Ross Colton at 6:59 of the first period, but the Maple Leafs killed it off, limiting Tampa Bay to two shots. You have to win four and you don't want to give teams any freebies, and I think we handed them a freebie tonight." "I'm not so sure the Maple Leafs had to play particularly well to beat us tonight. "It's no guarantee because of our history, but we can definitely draw from it and I have the utmost confidence in our group," Tampa Bay coach Jon Cooper said. ![]() Video: Gm1: Matthews walks into 1 on 5-on-3 PPĪndrei Vasilevskiy made 28 saves for the Lightning, the No. The Tampa Bay Lightning will be a far better team when they come back in here." Put our head on the pillow tonight and enjoy it and wake up tomorrow and then it's done, it's over. "All the way through, our team was extremely focused and went out and executed, so it was a good night for us, but it was one night. In fact, it turned into a positive, the chances we were able to generate, the life we were able to generate. We just go out, go to the face-off, get our work done. "The kills that we have early, we get an early kill, no problem. "Our team seemed to be unflappable tonight," Toronto coach Sheldon Keefe said. Toronto went 5-for-5 on the penalty kill. Jack Campbell made 24 saves, Mitchell Marner had a goal and two assists, and Morgan Rielly and Ondrej Kase each had two assists for the Maple Leafs, who are the No. That's a really good team on the other end." "A lot of really good things that we did tonight, but it's going to be a long series.
