Lightning Knot Cup Final

Jason Garrison (Minnesota-Duluth) blasted home the game-winning goal with just over 11 minutes remaining in regulation as the Tampa Bay Lightning notched a 4-3 victory tonight over the Chicago Blackhawks in Game Two of the Stanley Cup Final at Amalie Arena. The NHL's championship series is now tied at one game apiece.

 

Jonathan Toews (North Dakota) and Patrick Sharp (Vermont) picked up assists for the Blackhawks—but Sharp was also whistled for back-to-back penalties in the third period, the second of which resulted in Garrison’s game-winner.

 

Ben Bishop (Maine) made 21 saves for the Lightning, but yielded the net to Andrei Vasilevskiy shortly after Chicago’s third score tied the game. Vasilevskiy was in goal for Tampa Bay when Garrison scored for the Lightning, which earned him the win after he made five saves in nine minutes of play.

 

Game 3 will be held Monday night (8 p.m. ET, NBCSN) at the United Center in Chicago.
