William Nylander scored his first playoff goal of the season as he in a powerplay barely halfway into the second period got a puck in front of goal and nicely turned away Columbus goalkeeper Joonas Korpisalo and put 2-0 for Toronto.

Shortly afterwards, Nicholas Robertson put 3-0, and most people probably thought that Toronto would go up to 2-1 in the match series, and then only be a victory from a round of 16.

Columbus has a match ball

But at full time, Columbus had gone up to 3-3, and in the 19th minute of extra time, Pierre-Luc Dubois came free and steered the puck over Toronto goalkeeper Frederik Andersen's shoulder - the Canadian's third goal of the day. Thus, Columbus leads the match series with 2-1 and has a match ball against Toronto.

- You never want to be behind with 0-3. But we struggled, started playing good hockey at the end of the second and in the third period. The overtime was not our best, but we found a way to stick together and play solid defensive play, blocked some shots and luckily we got a chance and PL did not miss, says Seth Jones, who scored the 2-3 goal, according to Columbus website.
