TORONTO — Brayden Point scored twice and Nikita Kucherov, Pierre-Edouard Bellemare, Corey Perry, Ross Colton and Anthony Cirelli added singles as the Tampa Bay Lightning comprehensively routed the Toronto Maple Leafs 7-3 in Game 1 of their first-round playoff series.
After a gnarly Zach Aston-Reese giveaway in the Leafs zone, Bellemare opened the scoring one minute and 18 seconds into the contest, whacking away at a rebound off a Perry shot while Maple Leafs defenseman Mark Giordano missed a block out.
