TORONTO -- The Tampa Bay Lightning missed an opportunity take over first place in the Atlantic Division, losing to the Toronto Maple Leafs 3-1 at Air Canada Centre on Tuesday.

The Lightning (47-24-7) remained one point behind the Montreal Canadiens in the Atlantic. The Canadiens did not play Tuesday.

The Lightning, who clinched a Stanley Cup Playoff berth Monday with a 5-3 win against the Canadiens, played without four regular defensemen. Victor Hedman (upper body) left the game Monday after one shift of the third period, and joined Andrej Sustr (upper body), Jason Garrison (upper body) and Braydon Coburn (lower body) as injured.

Defenseman Slater Koekkoek, Tampa Bay's first pick (No. 10) in the 2012 NHL Draft, made his NHL debut after being called up from the Syracuse Crunch of the American Hockey League.

Lightning center Tyler Johnson, their second-leading scorer, missed his second game with an upper-body injury.

Toronto (29-42-6) took a 1-0 lead with Tampa Bay's Brendan Morrow in the penalty box for tripping. Nazem Kadri tipped Joakim Lindstrom's one-timer past Lightning goaltender Andrei Vasilevskiy at 8:53 of the first period.

David Booth made it 2-0 at 12:03 when his sharp-angle shot from the right side beat Vasilevskiy to the far side. It was Booth's seventh goal of the season, first in eight games.

The Lightning made it 2-1 at 18:04 when Ryan Callahan tapped home a rebound in front after Toronto goalie James Reimer made a splits save on Ondrej Palat with Maple Leafs defenseman Morgan Rielly off for holding.

Rielly scored 24 seconds into the third period, his eighth goal of the season, to make it 3-1. The left-shooting defenseman broke to the Tampa Bay net on the right side, took a pass from Kadri and put a high wrist shot past Vasilevskiy on the short side.
