    Lightning's quest for 3-peat continues after eliminating Maple Leafs

    7 days ago - By TheScore

    The Tampa Bay Lightning are heading to the second round after defeating the Toronto Maple Leafs 2-1 in Game 7 on Saturday night. Nick Paul opened the scoring for Tampa Bay late in the first period. John Tavares thought he scored the equalizer during the second frame, but the goal was called back due to an interference call on Justin Holl. Morgan Rielly later tied things up before Paul scored his second goal of the contest, which held up as the game-winner. Andrei Vasilevskiy stopped 30 of 31 shots, while Jack Campbell turned away 23 shots. This marks the Maple Leafs' sixth straight...

    7 days ago - By NESN

    The Tampa Bay Lightning could be without one of their top players beyond tonight's Game 7 battle with the Toronto Maple Leafs if the eye test means anything. Of course, the Lightning will have to hold onto their 2-1 third period lead for Brayden Point to have a chance to return this season.

    7 days ago - By Hoops Rumors

    The Bucks missed an opportunity to end their series at home Friday night and they'll have to regroup quickly as they head to Boston for Game 7, writes Eric Nehm of The Athletic. Milwaukee has already won twice on the Celtics' home floor in the series, and Giannis Antetokounmpo said he and his teammates will have a relaxed attitude heading into Sunday's showdown.
    “No matter what happens, we're gonna leave that game and we're going to be better,” Antetokounmpo said. “If we're going to be the team advancing to the next round, great. I hope so. We're gonna play hard, but if we're not, at the...
