With a score of 4-1 after two periods, the outcome of Game 4 between the Toronto Maple Leafs and Tampa Bay Lightning seemed set.

Maple Leafs fans in Tampa and back home in the streets of Toronto looked dejected as they watched their team struggle on the road on Monday night.

But the boys on the ice were not about to give up.

With more than 10 minutes in the third period, Tampa Bay looked like they were on their way to tying this series 2-2. Then, Auston Matthews lit a fire, scoring two goals in just 2:45 to cut Tampa's lead down to one.

And just like that, we had a game again.

With less than four minutes in the third period, Morgan Rielly fired home the game-tying goal. Suddenly, all the momentum was on Toronto's side.

As expected, Maple Leaf Square went absolutely bonkers. Hundreds of fans collectively lost their minds as the Leafs pushed the game to overtime.

The extra frame didn't last very long. After outshooting the Lightning 6-1, Alex Kerfoot tipped home the game-winner just 4:14 into the period.

The moment blew the non-existent roof off the downtown area as the public square, which has a capacity of 5,000 people, erupted once more.
