The Lightning and Rangers face in the Stanley Cup Playoffs for the first time.
The Tampa Bay Lightning and New York Rangers will battle in the 2015 NHL Eastern Conference Finals, which begin Saturday afternoon, May 16, with Game 1 at Madison Square Garden in New York. It's the first time the Rangers and Lightning have ever battled in the postseason.
The entire series follows the strict every-other-day rule throughout, unless we get to a Game 7, in which case we'll see a two-day break between Game 6 in St. Petersburg and Game 7 in New York City.
