The Tampa Bay Lightning beat the New York Rangers 2-1 on Saturday night to win the Eastern Conference Finals in six games. With the win, their third straight Eastern Conference title, the Lightning will face the Colorado Avalanche in the Stanley Cup Finals. Alternate captain, and Wisconsin Badgers legend, Ryan McDonagh was his usual steady self on the blue line as he leads the team on their quest for a third straight Stanley Cup. This year he is joined by backup goalie, and UW legend himself, Brian Elliott.
Skating in all 17 games that the Lightning have played in the playoffs, McDonagh has tallied one goal and three assists while sitting at plus-three.
