The Tampa Bay Lightning will take on the New York Rangers in game five of the Eastern Conference Finals. The Lightning battled back to tie the series at two games each after dropping the first to in New York. Tampa Bat dominated game four 4-1. Andrei Vasilevskiy stopped 34 out of 35 shots in the win. The Rangers are 8-1 at home in the playoffs and 4-1 in their last five games when playing at home against Tampa Bay.

York won all three regular-season games between the two. nd two and he had one assist in game three of the Eastern Conference Finals. New York has been excellent at home in the playoffs, winning eight straight home playoff games. The Lightning has been there and done that. For each added game that the Rangers have to win at home the pressure mounts. I look for the lightning to break through in this one and get an important road win.

Play on Tampa Bay. This is a 7* play.
