The Tampa Bay Lightning bounced back in dramatic fashion Thursday night, defeating the Seattle Kraken 4-3 in overtime thanks to a vintage end-to-end rush from Victor Hedman. The captain turned back the clock with a highlight-reel game-winner, sending Amalie Arena into a frenzy and helping the Lightning improve to 5-2 on the season.

On Last Call Presented by Jack Daniel's, JP Peterson, Jay Recher, and Brian Engblom break down Hedman's emotional moment, another dominant performance from Brandon Hagel, and the continued success of the Lightning's hard-working third line featuring Ilya Mikheyev, Pontus Holmberg, and Zemgus Girgensons. The crew also discusses Tampa Bay's ongoing search for the right top-line combination alongside Nikita Kucherov and Brayden Point, faceoff struggles that led directly to two Seattle goals, and what Dominic James brought in his season debut.

Plus, hear postgame interviews with Brandon Hagel, Victor Hedman, Ilya Mikheyev and Jon Cooper as the Lightning close out an entertaining overtime victory and turn their attention to Saturday's matchup with the Vancouver Canucks.
