Lightning come back to beat Penguins 3-2 in wild third period

The Tampa Bay Lightning defeated the Pittsburgh Penguins 3-2. The Bolts played well and deserved the two points. The game represented a strong bounceback after a poor showing against the Avalanche on Saturday night.

Tristan Jarry was excellent for Pittsburgh and nearly stole the win. Andrei Vasilevskiy was just as good and flashed some last second heroics to hold the lead. The Lightning got solid performances from players up and down the lineup and one of its stars, Victor Hedman, stepped up with the big game winning goal late in the third period.
