Quick Cap: Lightning start flat, lose Game 1 to Rangers

Well that was disappointing. The Tampa Bay Lightning lost Game 1 on the road to the New York Rangers to fall 0-1 in the Eastern Conference Finals. The Rangers beat the Lightning 6-2 with Filip Chytil scoring twice with four other Rangers players having multi-point nights.

The Lightning looked flat from the get-go and never found their footing. Andrei Vasilevskiy looked average, allowing all six goals on 34 shots. Stamkos and Palat scored the goals for the Lightning as the Bolts power play went 0/3. The Rangers power play meanwhile scored on one of their two changes.
