Tampa Bay Lightning defenseman Dan Girardi's goal 3:18 into overtime Friday lifted the Lightning past the Boston Bruins by a score of 4-3, giving Tampa Bay the 3-1 series stranglehold.

Though the goal wasn't exactly pretty, and Girardi isn't really known for his offensive prowess, the series shifts back to South Florida with the Bruins on the brink regardless.

Game 5 goes Sunday afternoon from Amalie Arena. Puck drop is set for 3:00 p.m. ET.
