 EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) - John Tortorella and the Tampa Bay Lightning found a very unlikely hero in beating the New Jersey Devils — Nick Tarnasky. Tarnasky had his first career game-winning goal and combined with Vincent Lecavalier to score in a 48-second span late in a three-goal second period in a 4-1 win on Sunday.
"It's nice get a game winner," said Tarnasky, a role player who took seven shifts spanning less than 4 minutes. His only shot caught Martin Brodeur off guard and turned out to be the biggest of the game for Tampa By, which has won 12 of 15.
With the score tied 1-1, Tarnasky skated down the right wing and had the puck poked off his stick behind the net.
