Now that's a game-winning playoff goal.

Forward Alex Killorn delivered the knockout blow Wednesday in Game 1 of his club's first-round series against the Detroit Red Wings, showing off his baseball skills to give the Tampa Bay Lightning a 3-2 win and first blood in the best-of-seven series.

The Killorn-Tyler Johnson-Nikita Kucherov first line gave the Red Wings fits all night, scoring all three goals in what was a very chippy affair. Kucherov had a pair, Killorn added a helper, and Johnson had two assists. The trio picked up right where they left off last spring, when they combined for 42 goals and 31 assists in the playoffs.

Ben Bishop had himself a game, stopping 34 shots, while Justin Abdelkader was all over the ice, throwing five hits and taking three minor penalties.
