The playoffs were off to a flying start last night. The Lightning edged the Red Wings 3-2 in an up and down game. Rookie goalie Jeff Zatkoff keyed the Penguins to a 5-2 win over the Rangers, who saw their goalie Henrik Lundqvist leave the game. Finally, the Blues ground down the defending Stanley Cup champions the Blackhawks 1-0 in overtime.
Tonight we have four games, so they’ll be plenty of channel-flipping going on. Here are the schedules for the four series that start tonight –
