Lightning's Tyler Johnson: Plays hero role again Sunday

Johnson netted the game-winning goal in overtime Sunday, helping the Lightning to a 3-2 series advantage against the Penguins.

Analysis:

Johnson also had the primary assist on Nikita Kucherov's marker in the third period to tie the game. With four points and goals in three consecutive games -- including game-winners in his last two -- Johnson has been a nightmare for the Penguins in this series. Remember, he took a puck to the grill ahead of Game 4 on Friday, but that hasn't seemed to have affected him in the slightest. He'll look for more in Game 6 on Tuesday.
