The Lightning went to their second-straight overtime contest in an eventful Sunday tilt. Unlike last night, Tampa Bay grabbed the extra point coming out with a 3-2 overtime win in Anaheim.
Anthony Cirelli grabbed the game winner less than a minute into overtime, his 16th of the season.
Jonas Johansson stood tall in the crease in his first start in a month, saving 30 out of 32 shots faced.
Tampa Bay ends their longest roadtrip of the season and now heads back home to face the Boston Bruins on Wednesday night.
