Jonathan Drouin continues to come up big for the team he didn't want to play for.
The young Tampa Bay Lightning forward, who publicly demanded a trade earlier this season, scored in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals against the Pittsburgh Penguins with a tremendous finish off the odd-man rush.
Ondrej Palat served up one of his famous saucer passes to record the assist.
Palat saucer feed to Drouin like his one last round, which Johnson called "A little sauce but not too much. Good home-cooked Italian pasta"

The goal was Drouin's second of the postseason, and his 10th point in 11 games.
