The Stanley Cup Playoffs have been entertaining to say the least this postseason, and that trend continued Tuesday night when the Tampa Bay Lightning faced off against the New York Islanders.
With the game deadlocked at 4-4 in overtime, Tampa Bay Lightning forward Brian Boyle rebounded off of a Victor Hedman miss, putting the puck in the net for an easy goal, giving the Lightning a 2-1 series lead.
Talk about being in the right place at the right time:
The replay angle showed just how opportune it was for Boyle and the Lightning. This really could not have been much easier for the men in white:

The win was huge for the Lightning, who now regain home ice with the victory after dropping Game 1 by a score of 5-3 at Amalie Arena in Tampa.
The Islanders will hope to even things up on Friday in a now crucial Game 4 at the Barclays Center.
