Stanley Cup Playoffs: Lightning Blank Rangers At MSG, Take 3-2 East Final Series Lead

At New York:

Valterri Filppula and Steven Stamkos (power play) each scored a second-half goal and Ben Bishop stopped all 26 shots on Sunday night as the Tampa Bay Lightning blanked the New York Rangers 2-0 on the road to take a three-games-to-two Eastern Conference Final series lead.

The Lightning can finish off the President-Trophy-winning Rangers with a game-six home victory in Tampa on Tuesday and clinch a berth in their first Stanley Cup Final since 2004 (when they defeated Calgary four games to three for the first Stanley Cup championship by a team from Florida).
