The Tampa Bay Lightning have beaten the Carolina Hurricanes with an identical 2-1 score in the first two games and, for the second consecutive playoff series, are coming to Amalie Arena with a 2-0 lead ahead of two home games.
In many aspects, this second-round series is similar to the first-round one. Just like against the Panthers, the Lightning are struggling a little bit at 5v5 and have been outshot in each of two previous games. Just like in the previous round, the Lightning have been carried by the stellar performance of Andrei Vasilevskiy, who allowed just two goals in the first two games against the Canes.
