So far, so good for the Toronto Maple Leafs.
The visitors hold a 3-1 lead over the Tampa Bay Lightning through two periods in Game 3 as Toronto tries and take the upper hand in their first-round series.
After a pair of first-period goals from Morgan Rielly and Colin Blackwell, David Kampf put the Leafs up 3-0 with a wrist shot early in the second period.
The Lightning finally got on the board mid way through the frame as Ross Colton took advantage of a Justin Holl minor to get the home side on the board and cut Toronto's lead to two goals. Colton had another great chance with about 4:35 remaining but was unable to convert from a sharp angle, keeping the score 3-1.
The Maple Leafs have controlled play for much of the first two frames, registering 29 shots compared to 19 from the Lightning.
Toronto took the opening game of the series 5-0 but the Lightning rebounded in a big way in Game 2, scoring three power-play goals en route to a 5-3 victory.
Game 4 will go Sunday night from Amalie Arena in Tampa.
