Lightning's bounce-back mettle to be tested in Game 2 vs. Leafs

If there's one thing the Tampa Bay Lightning's mini dynasty has been built on, its been resiliency.

In their back-to-back Stanley Cup triumphs in 2020 and 2021, the Lightning were impossible to back into a corner — because stringing together wins against them was simply not an option.

Tampa Bay has won 14 consecutive postseason games after a loss in the last two playoffs. It has outscored the opponent 51-19 in those victories, of which include five to close out an opponent. The Lightning were even better from the standpoint of goal differential in last summer's jaunt to consecutive Stanley Cups, scoring 30 goals to just eight allowed.
