Anthony Cirelli scored 1:58 into overtime and the Tampa Bay Lightning beat the Anaheim Ducks 4-3 on Thursday night to clinch a berth in the Stanley Cup playoffs.
Ross Colton, Alex Killorn and Nikita Kucherov also scored for the Lightning. Andrei Vasilevskiy made 10 saves before being replaced by Brian Elliott, who stopped all 13 shots he faced.
The Lightning tied the game with 12.3 seconds remaining in the third period when Kucherov's wrist shot from the high slot sailed through traffic and past Stolarz to make it 3-all. "We scored more than enough goals to win tonight, unfortunately a few of them got called back," Lightning coach Jon Cooper said."But it was how they did it in the end, and I'm so proud of the guys."
"I really appreciated the fans and what went on out there. It was a good, fun, hard-fought game. It was fun to be out there competing with a couple of guys I've played with." Anaheim went 1-1-2 on a four-game trip. The Ducks made their first visit to Amalie Arena since losing 6-2 on Nov. 23, 2019.
