Palat finished with a goal and two assists -- including one on the power play -- in Thursday's 5-2 Game 1 win over the Devils.
Palat opened the scoring exactly 15 minutes in and picked up assists on each of his team's next two goals en route to a 3-0 lead within the first two minutes of the second period. His 35 points and 56 appearances were both Palat's fewest since he became a full-time player in 2013-14, but a return to form in the playoffs would make an already league-best Lightning offense nearly unstoppable.
