Here is how Game One of the Eastern Conference Final played out:
First Period
The first-ever playoff meeting between the Rangers and Lightning got underway to a packed Madison Square Garden, in a Saturday matinee affair.
After having a little difficulty getting the puck in the offensive zone and wavering the Lightning’s offensive pressure, the Rangers appeared to be able to find their game. Questions coming into Game One would be how the Rangers would handle the Lightning’s brand of speed. Through the first six minutes, the team held their own.
