Kurtis Stevenson raects to Toronto's win

The Toronto Maple Leafs clinched a 5-2 lead in the Stanley Cup and gained the lead in the best-of-seven playoffs series in the Game 3 against the Tampa Bay Lightning at Amalie Arena. Toronto’s goalie Jack Campbell emerged as one of the top performers in the match as he came in the way of Lightning skipper Steven Stamkos’ aim with his ‘biggest save’ to evaporate the 3-2 lead they conceded on Friday.

“I think it’s human nature that, as an athlete, you want to be the best you can be,” Campbell said, as quoted by NHL.com. “Obviously, ‘Vasy’ has proven how good he is over the course of his NHL career. So it’s a fun challenge. And I’d be lying if I said I don’t want to do my best to beat him.”

He added: “Thankfully, our team’s been playing so well in front of me and scoring a lot of goals. It’s been huge for us. Sometimes with the quality that Tampa has, they’re going to make great plays. He made a great play there, and fortunately, it stayed out.”
