Auston Matthews and Steven Stamkos trade punches in Game 3!
The captain of the Tampa Bay Lightning loses it on Auston Matthews in Game 3.
Things have turned ugly in Game 3 between the Tampa Bay Lightning and the Toronto Maple Leafs.
A heated exchange in the third period has resulted in several penalties, an injury to Lightning forward Brayden Point, and even something of a scrap between two superstars in Lightning captain Steven Stamkos and Maple Leafs forward Auston Matthews.
It was a hit from Leafs defenseman Morgan Rielly that would draw the ire of the Lightning but, since he couldn't get his hands on Rielly, Stamkos would go for the next best thing and instead targeted Auston Matthews.
