In the third period, Stamkos and Nikita Kucherov went down the ice on a two on one. Kucherov passed it to Stamkos who snapped a shot that Igor Shesterkin stopped with his glove. But Shesterkin did not have full control and bobbled the puck. As Stamkos followed through on his shot and looked for a rebound, the puck bounced off his leg and into the net. Shesterkin felt like he was possibly interfered with as Stamkos made a little bit of contact with him. So the goal went under review.
After review it was determined to be a good goal and Tampa Bay went on to win the game 2-1 and close out the series. It's great to see a healthy Steven Stamkos in the playoffs for the first time in a long time. It makes the Lightning even more dangerous than they have been the last two years.
