Playoffs Day 36

The Lightning beat the Penguin 4-3, but the Lightning were up 4-0 in the third and the Penguins scored three to almost comeback. Also Trevor Daley had a leg injury in a collision against the boards  and did not return for the rest of the game and Matt Murray got pulled for the third period and had Marc Andre Fleury play for the first time since March 31. Ryan Callahan got the first goal 27 seconds into the game when he tipped in Victor Hedman's shot. Andrej Sustr got the second one when he got a pass across the zone from Nikita Kucherov and was able to put it in one the open side. Jonathan Drouin got the third one when he and Palat shared passes in front of the net and Drouin batted it in the net. Tyler Johnson who got hit in the face with a puck in warm-ups got the game winner when Kucherov continued his amazing passing this time to Johnson and he finished it off in the net. The Penguins partial comeback starts here when Phil Kessel just shot it in while skating in the zone off a pass from Nick Bonino. Evgeni Malkin got the second one for the Penguins when he somehow got past the Lightning's defense and got close to the net and shot it in. Chris Kunitz got the last one for Pittsburg when he got a rebound off of Justin Schultz's deflection off of Chris Sheary's shot. The Penguins would have an empty net for the last little bit, but the came close, but couldn't complete the comeback. Will Murray start game 5? How long will Daley be out? Who will take game 5? stay tuned....
