LIGHTNING ELIMINATE ISLANDERS, RETURN TO EASTERN CONFERENCE FINAL
Victor Hedman (2-0—2) registered his first career multi-goal game in the postseason and Ben Bishop stopped all 28 shots he faced to help the Lightning win their series with the Islanders in five games and reach the Eastern Conference Final for the second consecutive season.
* The Lightning have now reached the Eastern Conference Final in three of the last six campaigns and four times overall (also 2015, 2011 and 2004). Tampa Bay went on to the Stanley Cup Final in two of those series (2015 and 2004), winning the franchise’s only Stanley Cup in 2004.
