2015 NHL Playoffs Game 16 recap: Kucherov's OT winner gives Bolts 2-1 series lead

A back-and-forth affair between two evenly matched teams saw each of them build, and then blow, a two-goal lead before eventually needing extra time to settle the matter. Tampa Bay's Nikita Kucherov got the game winner which gives the Lightning a 2-1 lead in the Eastern Conference Finals.

The Tampa Bay Lightning beat the New York Rangers 6-5 in overtime in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals Wednesday night at Amalie Arena in Tampa.

Momentum shifts all around in this one as two-goal leads proved to be anything but secure for both teams.
