Tampa Bay Lightning vs Toronto Maple Leafs: NHL Live Stream, Schedule, Probable Lineups, Injury Report, April 22, 2023

Tampa Bay Lightning                                                                  

The Tampa Bay Lightning will welcome the Toronto Maple Leafs to Amalie Arena for an NHL game on Saturday. The Tampa Bay Lightning lost 7-2 in their last game over the Leafs. Tavares had his first playoff hat trick and the Maple Leafs rebounded from a poor playoff start with a lopsided 7-2 victory over the Lightning on Thursday night to even the teams’ first-round playoff series at a game apiece. “We wanted to have a good response,” the 32-year-old Tavares said. “As the captain, tried to set the standard.”

Ian Cole and Corey Perry scored for the Lightning, who were without injured defensemen Victor Hedman and Erik Cernak. “These guys are pros,” Tampa head coach Jon Cooper said. “We all had a close seat to what happened. They know what’s going on.” Andrei Vasilevskiy, who has played every minute of Lightning postseason action since 2020, allowed seven goals on 37 shots.

The Toronto Maple Leafs on the other hand won 7-2 against the Lightning in their last game. John Tavares almost single handedly got the Toronto Maple Leafs back into their opening round playoff series against the Tampa Bay Lightning. Mitch Marner had two goals and an assist, William Nylander added a goal and an assist, and Zach Aston-Reese also scored for Toronto.

Morgan Rielly tied a franchise record with four assists. Auston Matthews also had two assists for the Maple Leafs, whose stars stepped up. “That’s the type of performance you’re looking for from those guys,” Toronto head coach Sheldon Keefe said. “We needed to have a good day today, and we did. “Now we have a series.” Ilya Samsonov made 20 saves for Toronto after being pulled in Tuesday’s 7-3 loss.

The series shifts to Florida, where Games 3 and 4 of the best-of-seven set are scheduled for Saturday and Monday. “Clear slate,” Marner said. “Be ready to go.” Facing a 0-2 deficit against an opponent that’s a perfect 10-0 all-time when winning the first two games of a series, Toronto scored 47 seconds into the opening period on a power play when Marner beat Vasilevskiy with a slap shot on the first shot.
