Tavares nets a hat trick in dominating win to even the series with one win each
John Tavares scored a hat trick, Mitch Marner scored twice and had one assist, Morgan Rielly had four assists and Ilya Samsonov made 19 saves as Toronto evened the best-of-seven set at one win each. The teams play Games 3 and 4 in Tampa on Saturday and Monday.won most of those puck battles they lost in Game 1, pushed back when challenged and looked more like the team that finished ahead of Tampa Bay in the NHL’s Atlantic Division than the one that lost 7-3 in Game 1.
By then Toronto was already ahead 1-0 on a long wrist shot by Marner just 47 seconds after the opening puck drop. Goals by Tavares and William Nylander quickly followed. Toronto, which trailed 3-0 after 20 minutes on Tuesday, went to its dressing room for the first time with a 3-0 lead.At one point Tampa Bay had led 7-1 in shots – the lone one on Marner’s goal – but the Maple Leafs finished the period getting 12 of the last 13.
The Maple Leafs were without winger Michael Bunting, who is suspended for three games for interfering with and elbowing Lightning defenceman Erik Cernak in the second period of Game 1. Bunting was ejected after the incident, which caused a head injury and left Cernik unable to play on Thursday. At the time, Bunting was assessed a five-minute penalty, which led to two power-play goals in Tampa Bay’s 7-3 victory.
The Lightning also lost centre Michael Eyssimont on Tuesday in a collision with Toronto defenceman Jake McCabe.
