TAMPA Womens Authentic Nick Bjugstad Jersey , Fla. (AP) Brayden Point is about as reliable as they come in a shootout.The second-year center scored the deciding goal in a tiebreaker for the second consecutive game, lifting the Tampa Bay Lightning to a 4-3 victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs on Monday night.Point improved to 8 for 13 in career shootout attempts and scored the winner for the fifth time.”A lot of times he just goes down there and shoots the puck in the net,” Tampa Bay coach Jon Cooper said. ”That’s what you are supposed to do.”Tyler Johnson, Chris Kunitz and Adam Erne scored in regulation for the NHL-leading Lightning, who played most of the game without Nikita Kucherov after the league’s top scorer was injured. Still, the Atlantic Division leaders edged second-place Toronto hours after acquiring defenseman Ryan McDonagh and forward J.T. Miller in a blockbuster deal with the New York Rangers just before the NHL trade deadline.Tampa Bay parted with forward Vladislav Namestnikov, two prospects and two draft picks – a first-round selection in 2018 and a conditional high pick in 2019.James van Riemsdyk, Mitch Marner and Tyler Bozak had the goals for Toronto, which played without injured star Auston Matthews. Frederik Andersen stopped 39 shots.Andrei Vasilevskiy finished with 27 saves for Tampa Bay. He denied Marner on a penalty shot with 6:02 left in the third period to keep the score tied.Kucherov exited with 5:41 left in the first and did not return. The team announced he sustained an upper-body injury, but Cooper didn’t have an update following the game or offer any indication on how much time Kucherov could miss. The two-time All-Star has 82 points in 63 games.Even without Kucherov and Namestnikov, a 20-goal scorer this season Roberto Luongo Jersey , the Lightning found a way to come out on top in a game that had a playoff feel.”It was two teams that wanted to win a hockey game, that was pretty clear,” Cooper said. ”It was fast, both teams competed, and it had pretty much everything. … It was a good hockey game.”The game went back and forth with three lead changes before heading to overtime.Johnson and Erne scored in the second period to erase a 2-1 deficit. Bozak scored on a power play 5:27 into the third to tie it.”They’re a team we’re trying to catch and whenever you play the best you have to be the best to beat them,” Bozak said. ”It’s a great challenge for us every time we play them and I thought we did a pretty good job tonight on the road. Nice to get a point.”Toronto coach Mike Babcock did not share that sentiment.”They’re a good team and it’s always great to get a point, but I didn’t think this was one of our better games,” he said.NOTES: Toronto C Tomas Plekanec made his Maple Leafs debut wearing No. 19, one day after being acquired from the Montreal Canadiens. … Matthews missed his second consecutive game with a shoulder injury. … With his goal, van Riemsdyk extended his scoring streak to six games. … Toronto D Morgan Rielly established a career high with 37 points. … Vasilevskiy earned his 37th win, tied with Ben Bishop for second-most in a season in franchise history and three shy of matching Bishop’s club record.UP NEXTLightning: Host the Buffalo Sabres on Wednesday.Maple Leafs: At the Florida Panthers on Tuesday.— WINNIPEG http://www.floridapanthersteamshops.com/authentic-vincent-trocheck-jersey , Manitoba (AP) Paul Stastny has made plenty of tangible contributions for the Winnipeg Jets since they acquired him just before the NHL trade deadline.The latest example played out for all to see.The center scored twice at Nashville in Game 7 of the second round in a 5-1 win Thursday night, lifting Winnipeg into the Western Conference finals for the first time.Behind the scenes, Stastny is also making an impact with intangibles.”Some of his best performances are things none of us get to see happen inside the dressing room and on the plane and sitting beside the players,” Jets general manager Kevin Cheveldayoff said Friday. ”We knew we were getting a quality player – obviously, you can see that on the ice. A quality person, we knew that from our due diligence in the past. But what he can bring inside the room … you don’t really appreciate until you have.”The St. Louis Blues valued Stastny, too, but were willing to part ways with him in February because Winnipeg gave up a first-round pick this year, a fourth-round pick in 2020 and a prospect.”Stastny is a great, veteran player,” Vegas coach Gerard Gallant said. ”He plays a 200-foot game. He plays on the power play and penalty kill. He was a big pickup for those guys and he’s fitting in well on their team. That’s no surprise to anyone around the game.”With more than 200 goals and 600 assists in Stastny’s career Adrian Kempe Jersey , the Jets invested in this season to make a push in the playoffs and it paid off.Winnipeg will host the Golden Knights on Saturday night in Game 1 of the Western Conference finals .”It’s one step closer to where we want to be,” Stastny said. ”It’s kind of nice that we play really quick, so in one sense we get to enjoy this then forget about it and then focus on Vegas right away.”If a Game 7 proves to be necessary, Vegas will have to keep a close on Stastny because he has a knack for scoring decisive goals.Just like his father, Hockey Hall of Famer Peter Stastny, who defected from Czechoslovakia with his brother, Anton, in 1980 to play in the NHL.The 32-year-old Stastny has scored four goals and has eight points in four Game 7s. Just three active players have more points in decisive games: Justin Williams, Patrice Bergeron and Henrik Zetterberg.When he was seven months old, his father scored in overtime to push the Quebec Nordiques past the rival Montreal Canadiens in division finals of the 1985 playoffs.”Not that I know my dad’s goals, but I know that one http://www.kingsproshop.com/authentic-alex-iafallo-jersey ,” Stastny said. ”Rebound off a draw. He still talks about winning that draw.”No one drew up a conference finals matchup with Vegas and Winnipeg.And, Stastny is determined to enjoy the ride and help his younger teammates do the same.”As you get later in your career, you’ve just got to enjoy these moments,” he said. ”You’re going to have some guys that get nervous out there and that’s fine. It’s our job, older guys, veteran guys, to go out there and try to be loose and try to make everyone comfortable.”—
