Nikita Kucherov scored 3:33 into overtime to give the Tampa Bay Lightning a 6-5 win against the New York Rangers in Game 3 on Wednesday and grab a 2-1 series lead in the Eastern Conference Final.
After losing Game 1 by a 2-1 score, the Bolts have scored 12 goals in the past two games. They’ll look to continue that trend when they host the Rangers in Game 4 at Amalie Arena.
The Rangers will try to avoid dropping back-to-back Game 3 and Game 4 on the road. New York also dropped those games during their second-round series against the Washington Capitals.
There is no AHL Calder Cup playoffs action Friday night.
Here’s the schedule for Friday’s Stanley Cup Playoffs action:
| Home team | Away team | Time | Network |
| Tampa Bay Lightning | New York Rangers | 7 p.m. CT | NBCSN |
