Location: Amalie Arena

Broadcast / Streaming: NBCSN (Stream), CBC, TVA Sports

Preview:

Game 5. The Lightning come back home to Amalie Arena with a 3-1 lead in the series after taking two games in Boston. After Game 2, I was just hoping for the Lightning to take one in Boston and bring the series home with a 2-2 tie. It seemed like that was pretty likely especially since every other series had already gotten to 2-2. Instead, the Lightning came up big with a game-tying goal in the third period by Steven Stamkos, and the overtime winner from Dan Girardi in Game 4.
