2020 NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs: August 25 schedule, how to watch on TV

More Stanley Cup Playoffs action awaits Tuesday evening, with a pair of second-round games featuring a series from each of the NHL’s hub cities.

Boston is yet to miss a beat, even after No. 1 goaltender Tuukka Rask left the bubble for a family emergency. Jaroslav Halak made 35 saves in Game 1, upping his postseason stats to 4-0 with a 1.75 goals-against average and .936 save percentage. Victor Hedman scored twice in Game 1 for the Lightning, who don’t appear to be getting back captain Steven Stamkos anytime soon.

Later in the evening, the top seed in the Western Conference will look for a 2-0 series lead when the Golden Knights face the Canucks. Despite the drama surrounding Vegas’ backup goaltender, everything on the ice appears to be flourishing for Vegas after a 5-0 blowout of Vancouver in Game 1. Robin Lehner stopped all 26 shots he faced while five different Golden Knights lit the lamp, another indication of Vegas’ depth.
