A 2-0 disadvantage through two periods of hockey wasn’t enough to turn away the Tampa Bay Lightning on Tuesday night in Pittsburgh, as the visiting Lightning scored three unanswered goals to take a 3-2 win in overtime.

Forward Brayden Point scored the game-winner 3:58 into overtime for his second goal of the game, his first after missing four games with a lower-body injury.

Jesse Puljujarvi scored the lone goal of the first period for Pittsburgh, and Rickard Rakell made it 2-0 on the power play 13 minutes into period two. A backhand shot by Point 5:41 into the third cut the visitors’ lead in half, and Anthony Cirelli tied the game with 7:11 remaining.

Pittsburgh goalie Tristan Jarry finished with 32 saves on a night the Lightning outshot the home team 35 to 19. Andrei Vasilevskiy earned his third-straight win, stopping 17 shots.

Tampa Bay, now 10-6-1 on the year, plays in Columbus on Thursday.
