​Geekie logged his second goal – and third point – of the game off a cross-crease pass from Pastrnak at 8:18 to make it 5-1. It marked Geekie’s team-leading 32nd goal of the year, and sixth in five games.

“We know they’re a great team over there, and to get out to the lead that we did when we did – be in control of the game and then just kind of hand it right back to them – especially in our division and what we’re playing for right now, adds to the volume of everything,” Geekie said. “This one stings for sure.”

Oliver Bjorkstrand scored on the power play to make it 5-2 at 10:28, and then, 30 seconds later, all eyes darted towards center ice where Jeremy Swayman and Vasilevskiy dropped the gloves.

​“Fighting the biggest, toughest goalie in the league, so wouldn’t be my first choice. Glad we got the first one out of the way, probably retire after that,” said Swayman, who made 41 saves. “That’s game respecting game.”

It was the first-ever goaltender fight at an outdoor NHL game.

“I’ve never seen anything like that,” Poitras said. “That’s probably the craziest game I’ve been part of. Felt like a really long game, too. Never seen anything like that before.”

​The Lightning potted two more power-play goals – from Darren Raddysh and Nick Paul – to pull to 5-4 heading into the third period. Nikita Kucherov knotted things 5-5 at 11:50 of the third, forcing overtime.

It looked like Pastrnak won it all in OT, but the goal was called off due to a delayed penalty beforehand.​

“I have no clue what happened, honestly. Turnover, we got a 2-on-1, the referee has his arm up, is letting it go, Sway is going to the bench. Finish the play, score a goal and all of a sudden, I’m in the penalty box,” Pastrnak. “I don’t understand. I’ve never seen something like that.”​

Tampa Bay ultimately earned the contest’s second point in a shootout.

“Just the way the game went, we just didn’t have our composure, I would say,” Sturm said. “I don’t think they were better than us today, hockey-wise. But they were better than us after the whistle. They’re not tougher than us, but they did a good job. We just lost our composure a little bit, and it cost us, unfortunately, a point.”
