Outstanding effort from both Shesterkin and Vasilesvkiy in net, but Tampa Bay wins the series 4-2.10:30 p.m.: GOAL!And the Lightning answer right away. Stamkos comes in all alone and his first shot is stopped by Shesterkin, but the goalie can't handle the puck cleanly. As the puck is in the air, it hits Stamkos coming in front of the crease and goes into the net. Tampa Bay regains the lead just 21 seconds after New York tied it. What a dish by Kucherov to set up the goal. Pandemonium at Amalie.STEVEN. FREAKING. STAMKOS. | Sportsnet (@Sportsnet) 10:29 p.m.: GOAL!Frank Vatrano unleashes a bomb off the faceoff that beats Vasilevskiy over the glove. Clean win by Copp off the draw that went right to Vatrano and we have a tied game. The power play comes through for the blueshirts.VATRANO TIES IT!!! | Sportsnet (@Sportsnet) 10:24 p.m.:HUGE chance again for the Rangers as Stamkos is whistled for holding. Rangers have relied on the power Ron Santo Jersey play all season long and with 8:15 left potentially in their season, they need it to come through again.10:21 p.m.:Cernak back on the bench for the Lightning.10:18 p.m.:Lightning with another great chance, but one too many pa ses. Cirelli had a chance but got too close into Shesterkin to have any room for a quality shot. Vasilevskiy had his biggest save of the night moments before, stretching out to make a stop on Andrew Copp at the top of the crease.OMG VASY | Sportsnet (@Sportsnet) 10:12 p.m.:Not the best power play for the Rangers as it comes up empty. Credit to the Lightning PK, they blocked five shots on the kill. One of those was a block by Cernak, who got hit in the hand and went down to the locker room.10:09 p.m.:Corey Perry gets called for high-sticking Filip Chytil. Huge opportunity early for the Rangers power play to tie the game.10:05 Yoan Moncada Jersey p.m.:Third period begins with Hedman returning to the Tampa Bay bench. Strome is not on the bench for the Rangers.End 2nd period: Lightning 1, Rangers 09:46 p.m.:End of the 2nd, Stamkos' tally is the only score so far. Shesterkin is putting the entire Rangers' season on his back right now, he's been sensational. The rest of the Rangers? Well they have not. Lightning are winning every puck race and 50-50 battle it seems. Shots are 23-13 in favor of Tampa Bay.9:41 p.m.:Rangers kill off the penalty, but not without a couple of big stops again by Shesterkin. First it was Palat with a high shot, then it was Alex Killorn cutting from the forehand to the backhand. Both the same result.9:36 p. Bo Jackson Jersey m.:First power play of the game goes to the Lightning as Artemi Panarin is called for high-sticking. He clipped Erik Cernak right in the mouth.9:31 p.m.: GOAL! Steven Stamkos rips one by the blocker of Shesterkin to break the tie. I don't think the Rangers goalie tracked that puck until it was too late, Stamkos used Ryan Lindgren's legs as a screen. 1-0 Lightning with under 10 minutes to go in the second period, Amalie Arena is loud.. breaks the ice midway through the second period! NHL GIFs (@NHLGIFs) 9:30 p.m.:Victor Hedman heads down to the locker room after a high hit from Alexis Lafreniere. He was not happy coming off the ice at the officials and doesn't look happy to be forced down the tunnel. Dirty play by Lafreniere that goes uncalled.Victor Hedman heads down the tunnel after taking a high hit from Alexis Lafreniere. No penalty Brady Trettenero (@BradyTrett) 9:27 p.m.:Maroon gets a lane to the net from the corner, but his stuff attempt is denied by Shesterkin. Tampa Bay is in complete control of this game but Shesterkin is single-handedly keeping New York in the contest.9:14 p.m.:Kevin Rooney and Mikhail Sergachev each called for roughing after a scrum in front of the Lightning net. Play will go to 4 on 4.9:10 p.m.:Hard hit by Jacob Trouba on Corey Perry causes a small scuffle. A clean hit, but Perry didn't have the puck and Trouba should have been called for interference. Rangers get away with one there.9:09 p.m.:Another sensational save by Shesterkin, stopping a deflected puck by Kucherov on a 2 on 1 with Stamkos. This very easily could be 3-0, 4-0 Lightning if not for the young goaltender.Igor Shesterkin with another standout save to keep this game scorele s Shayna (@hayyyshayyy) 9:07 p.m.:Chance right out of the gate in the second for Cirelli again. He tries going forehand-backhand, but Shesterkin read it perfectly snd stuffs the attempt.End 1st period: Lightning 0, Rangers 08:48 p.m.:End of the 1st and score remains 0-0. Shesterkin was the best player on the ice and the sole reason why the Lightning didn't have multiple goals in the period. Lightning in front in shots with 11-7 and shot attempts with 25-12.8:47 p.m.:Great pad save by Shesterkin on Anthony Cirelli, who tried to sneak the puck around his leg.
