Former Blue Jacket Panarin And Rangers Launch Comeback, But It's Not Enough. Lightning Take Game 4, Series Tied Going Back To New York! 6/7/22

Period 1 would see just 1 goal.  It would come from the hometown Lightning, by way of Maroon, just 2:38 into Game 4.  Period 2 would see just 1 goal.  This one would come from the Lighting, by way of Kucherov, at 13:07.  Going into Period 3 the game would be 2-0, in favor of the Lightning.  They would score a 3rd goal, by way of Stamkos, at 4:56 into the final period.  It looked to be a shutout on the way for the Rangers team and fans alike.  However, former Blue Jacket Artemi Panarin would prevent that, with a goal at 16:27.  3-1 Lightning with just over 3 minutes to go in regulation time.   After an Empty Net Goal from Palat at 19:51, this game was over.  The home team Tampa Bay Lightning take Game 4 in the Eastern Conference Final.  The final was 4-1.  With this game win, the series is now tied at 2 games each.  We'll see at least 6 games in this series now, which will no doubt continue to build on skill and excitement. 

Game 5 will be back in New York, on Rangers home ice.  We'll see if they can bounce back from these two road losses in a row.  Based off their abilities in the playoffs so far, I think the odds are good.  It just depends on if their might to bounce back is less than the might for the Lightning to keep rolling!  Game 5 will take place on Thursday, June 9th.  Puck drop is set for primetime, 8:00 PM EST, on ESPN.
