The Lightning came back twice from a one-goal deficit against their intrastate rival before defenseman Victor Hedman tallied on a breakaway 54 seconds into overtime to give Tampa Bay the victory. The Lightning struggled during much of the 3-2 victory, yet the defending champions found a way to win anyway. The Panthers outshot the Lightning 38-19 overall and led 1-0 and 2-1 behind goals from Patric Hornqvist and Anthony Duclair, but Tampa Bay found a way to bounce back at critical moments.
