Jonathan Drouin is taking some pressure off his captain in Game 7.

The 21-year-old forward drew the Tampa Bay Lightning even with the Pittsburgh Penguins in the Eastern Conference Final elimination game, firing a bullet over goaltender Matt Murray midway through Thursday's second period.

Bryan Rust scored his second goal of the game to restore the Penguins' lead 30 seconds later.

Drouin's marker was his fifth goal and 14th point in 17 postseason contests this spring.
