By Hockey in 60
Toronto Maple Leafs won despite being outshot 41–29. Tampa Bay Lightning generated more shots on target, but the volume advantage did not translate into a better result. Toronto Maple Leafs scored on 17.2% of its shots, compared with 7.3% for Tampa Bay Lightning. Those are team scoring rates, not goalie save percentages; empty-net goals can affect them. The totals establish a difference in conversion, but cannot separate finishing, chance quality and goaltending.
Toronto Maple Leafs converted 0 of 1 power plays (0.0%); Tampa Bay Lightning converted 1 of 3 power plays (33.3%). Toronto Maple Leafs overcame a 1-goal disadvantage in power-play scoring, so its winning edge came from goals recorded outside the power play. Those goals can include even-strength, shorthanded and empty-net situations.
