Winning in the NHL playoffs is a team effort.

Tampa Bay Lightning goaltender Ben Bishop is thankful his teammates literally had his back in Game 6 against the New York Rangers on Tuesday.

A Derick Brassard shot deflected off Chris Kreider, banked off a post and trickled behind the netminder, coming incredibly close to tying the game at two goals apiece.

Luckily, a swarm of Bishop's teammates came to his aid and tucked the puck behind the netminder for a stoppage.

The puck was inches away from giving the Rangers a two goal cushion.
