The early fan sensation of the 2017 Stanley Cup Playoff was given time to shine during Game 3.
Jason Maslakow, now commonly referred to as 'Dart Guy' after his famous appearance on camera during Game 2 in Washington, was featured by the Toronto Maple Leafs on the scoreboard during the first period of Game 3 from the seat afforded to him in the meantime.

Shortly thereafter, Auston Matthews scored his first career playoff goal to cut Washington's early lead in half.

Perhaps 'Dart Guy' was indeed a necessary spark in order to get the team going.
