TORONTO — With their 82-game dress rehearsal done, the Lightning wasted no time putting on a show Tuesday night.
After just 20 minutes on the postseason stage, the Lightning had silenced Toronto’s Scotiabank Arena and shocked the Maple Leafs by taking a three-goal lead.
How much did the Lightning take the home crowd out of the game? When Nikita Kucherov rifled a slap shot past Leafs goaltender Ilya Samsonov with 2.6 seconds left in the period, Lightning radio announcer Dave Mishkin’s goal call could be heard through the press box.
