When the Blueshirts walked out of Madison Square Garden last Friday, they did so holding a 2-0 series lead over the two time defending champion Tampa Bay Lightning. That lead has vanished into thin air after a visit to the Sunshine State, and these Conference Finals are now a best-of-three series. Injuries are starting to mount for New York as Barclay Goodrow, Ryan Strome, and Filip Chytil all hurting at the moment, the latter two of those being questionable to suit up tonight.
On the bright side, the scene has shifted back to Broadway for this pivotal Game 5.
