NHL Playoff Action & Incidents

The Tampa Bay Lightning averted disaster on home ice, mounting a third-period rally to secure a 3-2 overtime victory against the Montreal Canadiens, thereby ending their four-game home playoff losing streak and knotting the series at one game apiece. Elsewhere in the Eastern Conference, the Boston Bruins asserted dominance in their Game 2 matchup, netting four goals within the first 41 minutes while netminder Jeremy Swayman turned away 34 shots to build on their Game 1 success. Meanwhile, an unusual incident occurred in the Western Conference clash where Kings coach D.J. Smith was struck by shattered glass after a pane behind the Los Angeles bench fractured during the second game against the Colorado Avalanche.
