TAMPA — For the second straight game, the Tampa Bay Lightning and New York Rangers abandoned the tight-checking, low-scoring approach.
And for the second straight game, the Lightning were the beneficiary.
Nikita Kucherov scored 3:33 into overtime to give the Lightning a 6-5 win against the Rangers in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Final on Wednesday at Amalie Arena.
Kucherov, who has seven goals in the Stanley Cup Playoffs, skated into the zone, made a move against Ryan McDonagh and sent a wrist shot past Henrik Lundqvist from between the circles to give the Lightning a 2-1 lead in the best-of-7 series.
Game 4 is Friday in Tampa (8 p.m. ET; NBCSN, CBC, TVA Sports).
