The Tampa Bay Lightning are back home with a chance to advance as they host the New York Rangers. Igor Shesterkin and Andrei Vasilevskiy tend the twines. Tampa Bay got going in the second period with a Steven Stamkos goal, his eighth of the postseason, via Ondrej Palat and Mikhail Sergachev. New York tied it in the third period with a Frank Vatrano power play goal, his fifth of the playoffs, powered by Andrew Copp. The Lightning replied with a Stamkos goal, his second of the game and ninth of the postseason, passed from Nikita Kucherov and Palat. This made it 2-1, the final, with the three stars awarded to Stamkos, Vasilevskiy (20 for 21 in saves), and Palat. The Lightning won the series 4-2 and will head to the Stanley Cup Finals against the Colorado Avalanche.
