Ottawa's Mathieu Joseph Scores 3-on-5 Against the Lightning, Kucherov Proves Clutch Again (VIDEO)

The Senators are giving the Tampa Bay Lightning all sorts of trouble tonight, and just when you thought the two-time Stanley Cup champs would gain the edge - nope!

Off of an offensive miscue, Mathieu Joseph hit the gas and blew Lightning captain Steven Stamkos out of the water, burying his chance on Andrei Vasilevskiy and giving his team a huge 2-1 lead.

Alas, the Lightning's resilience - a calling card of theirs - proved to be a difference maker tonight. The Bolts scored three goals in the third period, including the game-winner from Nikita Kucherov. Joseph's goal was great, and it's rare that a team could surrender a goal with the two-man-advantage and walk away with the win. I don't have the numbers, but there can't be more than 20 teams ever to do it in the NHL.

Huge win for the Lightning over a divisional opponent, no less. Check out Kucherov's game-winner:
