After a scoreless opening period, the Lightning struck four times against Erik Källgren in the second frame and didn’t stop there, putting up four more in the third. They converted five times on different varieties of power plays — including two goals each from Alex Killorn and Ross Colton as well as a record-breaking tally from Steven Stamkos — to light up the Maple Leafs. Ilya Mikheyev broke the shutout, but it was one of the only bright spots for Toronto.
The game also featured numerous fights, most notably between Wayne Simmonds and Patrick Maroon, and devolved into perpetual chippy shoving matches by the end.
