Lightning's second line tasked with tough matchup vs. Maple Leafs (Tampa Bay Times)

Notes | Brayden Point, Alex Killorn and Anthony Cirelli battled Toronto's top line in Game 3, mostly limiting their chances.

It was a significant change since the trio of Matthews, Marner and Bunting had played together for much of the regular season. The first unit was comprised of Victor Hedman, Steven Stamkos, Point, Cirelli and Killorn while the second was made up of Mikhail Sergachev, Ondrej Palat, Nick Paul, Corey Perry and Ross Colton. The duo took a “rest day.” Riley Nash, who has been a healthy scratch this series, filled in on the top line for Kucherov while emergency backup goaltender Kyle Konin filled in for Vasilevskiy alongside back-up goaltender Brian Elliott. ... Before the team started practice, both power-play units worked at opposite ends of the ice. “We have a recipe, we have a plan,” coach Jon Cooper said. For the most part, it worked in Game 3. That group was also together for Game 1 with Bunting injured.

Dave Andreychuk: Lightning & Maple Leafs Legend (The Hockey Writers)

As the Tampa Bay Lightning and Toronto Maple Leafs face off, let's take a look back at one of the best players to play for both franchises.

Shockingly, he signed with the Lightning, who were still a struggling expansion franchise attempting to find an identity in the league. However, while Toronto would once again make it to the now Western Conference Final, they fell in five games to the Vancouver Canucks. After this, he continued to play well but was eventually sent to the Devils during the 1995-96 season. He went on to score 53 goals in 1993-94, making him the second-best single-season goalscorer in Maple Leafs’ history until Auston Matthews pushed him to third place in 2021-22 with 60 goals scored. In those years, he would take on 223 games with the Toronto Maple Leafs, 224 with the New Jersey Devils, and 278 with the Lightning. The second statue, which was constructed in 2014, records one of the most important moments in Lightning history. As you enter Amalie Arena to watch a Tampa Bay Lightning home game, you will be greeted by two statues in the promenade.
