Steven Stamkos leads Lightning back to Stanley Cup Final with a pair of goals

The Tampa Bay Lightning are heading back to the Stanley Cup Final for the third consecutive season. With two goals from Steven Stamkos and 20 saves from Andrei Vasilevskiy, the Lightning defeated the New York Rangers, 2-1. After dropping the first two games of the series, the Bolts roared back with four straight wins to claim another Eastern Conference banner. Frank Vatrano was the lone Ranger to find the back of the net against Vasilevskiy

Looking to get his offense kickstarted, Gerard Gallant mixed his lines up, scratching Kaapo Kakko and inserting Dryden Hunt.
