Tyler Johnson may have just saved the Tampa Bay Lightning's season.

Facing the prospect of a second straight shutout loss and a 3-1 series deficit late in Game 4 against the Detroit Red Wings, Johnson scored a goal and set one up in a 77-second span to force overtime.

Johnson streaked down the left side boards and cut to the net to lift a shot over Mrazek's blocker, spoiling the Detroit netminder's shutout bid with 5:26 remaining in regulation.

Johnson was at it again on his next shift, taking a pass from Ondrej Palat and returning the favor from below the Red Wings' goal line to set up the tying goal with 4:09 remaining.
