Tampa Bay and Carolina offered a game with many game-changing twists and turns, when the teams clashed in the first meeting of the quarterfinals, which is decided in the best of seven games.
It took almost half the match before the first goal came, and it was Victor Hedman who was behind it. After Tamp Bay had a hard time coming to an end in numerical superiority, the Swedish back cliff got the chance, and fired a shot that was controlled by Brayden Point.
