Lightning Find A Spark, But Rangers Take Game 2! Final 3-2 On 6/3/22
The Tampa Bay Lightning started tonight's Game 2 in Madison Square Garden off on the right skate. With a goal from Kucherov at 2:41, the Lightning would take an early 1-0 lead. However, the Rangers would strike back. At 5:59 they'd tie the game at 1-1 with a goal from Miller. Them, at 17:32, Kakko would add another, making it a 2-1 Rangers lead before the first period would end.
In Period 2 we'd see some great chances from both teams, especially former Blue Jacket Artemi Panarin, but no goals would happen in this period. 2-1 Rangers lead still would take us into Period 3.
The Rangers would tack on a third goal at 1:21 into Period 3, by way of Zibanejad. It looked to be all over for the Lightning, as the Rangers would now lead 3-1. However, a last minute goal at 17:58 would put the Lightning within reach of an Overtime. This goal came from Paul, 3-2 Rangers lead still. The Lightning would then pull Andrei Vasilevskiy, making Igor Shesterkin work for that win, and work he did! The Rangers would take Game 2, with a final score of 3-2, on their home ice.
This win tonight gives the New York Rangers a 2-0 series lead over the Tampa Bay Lightning. A nice cushion to have as they now face Games 3 and 4 on Tampa Bay Lightning home ice. Game 3 will be on Sunday afternoon, with a 3:00 PM EST puck drop. You can watch the game on ESPN, but please check your local provider to be sure this is correct in your viewing area.
