A clinch party in Florida! The New York Islanders head south, dispirited after losing two games at home to go down 3-1 in the series. They've now lost three in a row after stealing Game 1, and the difference has been the Lightening defense, allowing six total goals the last three contests. They’ve watched as scoring opportunities have gone for naught, missing good chances, or buried in the chest or glove of goalie Big Ben Bishop. They come off a 2-1 loss at home which included a four-minute power play. Tampa Bay is the defending Eastern Conference champs, potent and balanced, #12 in the NHL in goals scored, fifth in goals allowed, and seventh in penalty killing. The Lightning are 16-5 in Conference Semifinals games, plus on a 65-31 run at home. Tampa Bay is also 19-9 after allowing two goals or less in their previous game and holds all the cards to ice the series at home. Play Tampa Bay to clinch.
