This is one the New Jersey Devils let get away.
Tyler Johnson scored 1:16 into overtime and the Tampa Bay Lightning rallied to beat the Devils 7-6 on Wednesday night at Prudential Center, avoiding their first three-game losing streak since late March 2018.
Ondrej Palat scored twice for the banged-up Lightning, who surrendered a tying goal to Kyle Palmieri in the waning seconds. Alex Killorn, Brayden Point, Anthony Cirelli and Mathieu Joseph also scored, and Curtis McElhiney made 36 saves.
Palmieri scored three goals and Jesper Bratt had two for the Devils. Sami Vatanen scored early in the third period for a 5-3 lead and Cory Schneider had 16 saves.
