Lightning 4, Panthers 3: Ryan Callahan scored his 22nd goal of the season with 2:28 left in the third period to snap a tie as host Tampa Bay rallied for its fourth straight victory.

Callahan added an assist while Brenden Morrow, Tyler Johnson and Nikita Kucherov also tallied for the Lightning, who won their league-high 30th game on home ice. Rookie Andrei Vasilevskiy turned aside 33 shots - including all 14 he faced in the third period - for his seventh victory as Tampa Bay climbed within one point of first-place Montreal in the Atlantic Division.

Jussi Jokinen, Brandon Pirri and Jonathan Huberdeau scored in 1:58 span during the second period as the Panthers carried a 3-2 lead into the third. Roberto Luongo made 21 saves for Florida, which remained five points behind Ottawa for the second wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference.

The Panthers moved ahead at 8:14 of the middle period, when Huberdeau tracked down the rebound of his own shot and scored into a vacant net. Kucherov tied the game 90 seconds into the third on a wraparound and Callahan walked out from behind the net before whipping a shot past Luongo’s glove for the winner.

Morrow banked a shot in off Luongo’s skate 5:49 into the game and Johnson scored from the slot 1:58 later after receiving a nifty backhand pass by Callahan to double the lead. Jokinen halved the deficit from the right faceoff dot 6:16 into the second session and Pirri tied it 18 seconds later with a low shot through a screen from above the right circle.
