LIVE UPDATES: Leafs trail Lightning 4-1 after second period of Game 4
About five minutes into the third, Lightning centre Brayden Point took a hit from leafs defenseman Morgan Rielly that sent him crashing awkwardly into the boards, leaving him injured.
It eventually led to a fight between Lightning captain Steven Stamkos and Leafs star Auston Matthews – the first-ever NHL fight between two players with 60-goal seasons. Keefe told reporters after the game that Tampa Bay had “manipulated” the refs, knowing they’d be hesitant to further penalize the Lightning.“And not only do they get out of it unscathed, but they take Matthews and O’Reilly with them to the box. Brilliant play by the Lightning, there.”
