This Lightning forward wasn't going to be bottled up forever.

Tampa Bay rookie Jonathan Drouin recorded his first career NHL point during Tuesday's 2-1 overtime win over the Calgary Flames.

With his team down 1-0 late in the third period, the 19-year-old sent a backhand saucer pass to Jason Garrison. 

The defenseman's shot was initially stopped by goaltender Karri Ramo, but the rebound was buried by Valtteri Filppula, giving Drouin the secondary assist on the game-tying goal.

Drouin saw almost 20 minutes of ice time in the game, adding one shot on goal.
