The Tampa Bay Lightning and Pittsburgh Penguins have Nikita Kucherov to thank for overtime.
The 22-year-old scored his second of Sunday's Game 5 on a swift wraparound with just over three minutes remaining in regulation to tie it 3-3 and ultimately send the game to overtime.
The goal was Kucherov's 11th of the postseason, pushing him one ahead of San Jose Sharks forward Joe Pavelski for the most goals in the playoffs.
