2020 NHL Playoffs Today: The Stanley Cup Final matchup is set

The 2020 Stanley Cup Final is set! The Tampa Bay Lightning -- this summer's cardiac kids -- knocked out the New York Islanders with an Anthony Cirelli overtime goal. It's the third straight series the Lightning have clinched in an overtime game this summer, and it earns them the right square off against the Western Conference champion Dallas Stars.

The Lightning don't have much time to celebrate, with Game 1 on Saturday. The Stars enter the series with four days of rest, though Tampa Bay enters as favorites in the sportsbooks.
