At the same time, Vasilevskiy\u2019s teammates were thanking him for changing the momentum in the game.<\/p>\n
And for once, it wasn\u2019t for a save he made.<\/p>\n
Down by four goals, Oliver Bjorkstrand<\/a> scored a power-play goal at 10:28 of the second to bring the Lightning to within 5-2 of the Bruins.<\/p>\n Then, 33 seconds later, chaos broke out.<\/p>\n At 11:01 of the second period, Bruins goalie Jeremy Swayman<\/a> took issue with Tampa Bay\u2019s Brandon Hagel<\/a> hacking at him and swatted the Lightning forward. Vasilevskiy, witnessing what was going on at the other end of the ice, immediately charged out of his net. Upon seeing his counterpart do that, so, too, did Swayman.<\/p>\n Within seconds, a goalie fight had broken out.<\/p>\n \u201cObviously, that\u2019s what 20 of us do for each other,\u201d Hagel said, noting how the Lightning stand up for each other, including their goalie. \u201cI got a glove to the head. Obviously, (Vasilevskiy) didn\u2019t like that. He probably didn\u2019t like all the goals going in because of us, either.<\/p>\n \u201cSo that was the turning point of the game.\u201d<\/p>\n Guentzel couldn\u2019t agree more.<\/p>\n \u201cThat\u2019s was the game-changing moment for our team,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd that\u2019s what we needed.\u201d<\/p>\n Cue the comeback.<\/p>\n Darren Raddysh<\/a> scored at 15:50, followed by a goal from Nick Paul<\/a> at 16:13. Suddenly, the Lightning had cut the Bruins lead to 5-4, thanks to three power-play goals in the span of 5:45.<\/p>\n
