In the 1st of 2 games against an Ottawa team it is chasing, Tampa Bay gets 2 critical points with a 3rd period to remember.

A snap shot by Claude Giroux from the top of the circles tied the game at two goals a side. Forward Brandon Hagel entered the zone with speed early in the third period and then ripped a shot over the glove of Ullmark from the high slot.

Ottawa, who will be playing the second part of a back-to-back Tuesday, is coming off a 5-2 win against Nashville Monday night. They’ve won their last five games and have taken over the third place spot in the Atlantic division.
