TAMPA, Fla.—The Tampa Bay Lightning understand what it takes to be successful in the Stanley Cup playoffs. Kucherov, the NHL’s third-leading scorer during the regular season with 100 points, had five goals and five assists in the five games, setting a franchise for points in a playoff series. “When you look at a guy like Kucherov, he has talent but he’s not a perimeter player. The 19-year-old Sergachev, meanwhile, became the youngest player in franchise history to score a playoff goal, giving the Lightning a 1-0 lead in the first period. Schneider did all he could to give the Devils a chance to extend their first playoff appearance since 2012.
