Penguins vs. Lightning: Game 5 Live Score, Highlights for 2016 NHL Playoffs

Kevin McRaeMay 22, 2016

Tyler Johnson deflected a blast from Jason Garrison past Marc-Andre Fleury 53 seconds into overtime to lift the Tampa Bay Lightning to a 4-3 win and a 3-2 Eastern Conference Final lead over the Pittsburgh Penguins on Sunday night at Consol Energy Center.

The Lightning will have a chance to advance to the Stanley Cup Final for a second consecutive year Tuesday night at Amalie Arena, while the Penguins must be feeling deflated after blowing a two-goal lead at home.

Nikita Kucherov's second goal of the night came with just 3:16 left in regulation to force the extra frame.

The tying goal came just seconds after Ryan Callahan's shot clanked off the post and slid along the goal line but somehow didn't cross.

Alex Killorn also scored for Tampa Bay.

Brian Dumoulin, Patric Hornqvist and Chris Kunitz had the Penguins' goals.

Fleury, making his first start since March 31 in place of Matt Murray, gave up four goals on 25 shots.
