More than six hours after the puck dropped to open the first round of the 2020 NHL Playoffs, Brayden Point’s goal in the fifth overtime provided a 3-2 win for the Tampa Bay Lightning over the Columbus Blue Jackets. The game went so long that the NHL had to postpone the Carolina Hurricanes/Boston Bruins game that was set to follow it.
With the win, the Lightning take a 1-0 series lead as they look to avenge the first round sweep from last season. Andrei Vasilevskiy set a club record by stopping 61 of 63 shots. It was a game for the ages.
