One win separates the Tampa Bay Lightning from a date with the Vegas Golden Knights in the Stanley Cup final.
The Lightning reeled off three straight wins, two of which came in Washington, D.C., to take a 3-2 lead in the Eastern Conference final over the Washington Capitals.
Tampa Bay set up the clinching scenario for Monday's Game 6 with a 3-2 victory at home in Game 5. If they win their fourth straight contest, the Lightning would become the first team to lose the first two games of a conference final or semifinal at home and win the series since the 1974-75 season, per NHL PR:
