New York Islanders - Tampa Bay Lightning

So, the Islanders brought out their best in the first game. And they did a really good job of staying out of the box! That was a necessity, or the Bolts would have done a lot of damage with their supreme power play efficiency. So what to expect for this game? A lot of the same? From the Islanders for sure. They have no reason to change anything, and Trotz won't let them either. But the Lightning will have a lot of reason to re-think. Even though the score was close, it was clear that what they brought in the first game didn't cut it. I think they have another gear to put in. If they want to repeat their Stanley Cup win from last year, then now is the time. It's do or die, and I think the Bolts will do. Tampa Bay wins!

In summary, even though it's a bit silly, my winners are:
