Saturday’s contest against Toronto wrapped up a busy stretch of five games over eight days, and the Lightning went just 2-3-0 in those contests. The three losses all occurred at home. This one came against a division rival that entered the game just two points ahead of the Lightning in the standings.

The Lightning mounted a late-game comeback against the Maple Leafs but fell short to take another season-series loss.

Auston Matthews picked up an assist in his return to the lineup and Joseph Woll stopped 38 shots as the Toronto Maple Leafs beat the Tampa Bay Lightning 5-3.
