Not only did the Orange and the Black beat the other top seeds in the Eastern Conference over the last week they did so without trailing at any point in time. On Saturday it was the team’s ability to pressure the Tampa Bay Lightning in the defensive zone to force them into consequential turnovers. Let’s see how they did it.

The play starts with Derek Grant winning a neutral zone draw before the puck is eventually moved to Justin Braun, who is able to get the puck deep into Tampa Bay’s zone with the help of a James van Riemsdyk tip.
