Wednesday night's marquee matchup between the Tampa Bay Lightning and Pittsburgh Penguins did not disappoint.
With the score even at two goals apiece in the final minute of the game, Victor Hedman unleashed an absolute rocket from the point to give the Bolts a late lead.

The Penguins applied the pressure in the final minute in an attempt to force overtime, but Andrei Vasilevskiy shut the door, robbing Kris Letang with an incredible glove save just before time expired. It appeared as though Vasilevskiy's glove may have crossed the goal line with the puck inside, but a lengthy review was unable to overturn the call on the ice.
THAT CLOSE. 😳
