NHL Playoff Schedule 2015: Dates, TV Guide, Bracket and Stanley Cup Standings

The NHL returns to prominence Sunday with three conference semifinal games that gives hockey fans a chance to watch a playoff tripleheader.

The Tampa Bay Lightning want to put a stranglehold on their series with the Montreal Canadiens by winning a second straight game on the road, while the Chicago Blackhawks and Anaheim Ducks are both aiming for 2-0 advantages by winning at home over the Minnesota Wild and the Calgary Flames, respectively.

The Lightning got swept by the Habs in last year's playoff meeting, and red-hot Tyler Johnson would love to return the favor.
