The Columbus Blue Jackets shocked the Tampa Bay Lightning again and are now heading back home with a 2-0 lead, Robin Lehner helped the New York Islanders take a 2-0 lead over the Pittsburgh Penguins, while Ryan O’Reilly gave the St. Louis Blues a 2-0 lead over the Winnipeg Jets.
Save of the night goes to Lehner
The New York Islanders took advantage of the home ice and beat the Pittsburgh Penguins in the opening two games, but the hero of Game 2 was goalie Robin Lehner who showed excellent reflexes in stopping Matt Cullen from taking a lead in the second period.
Coming up huge again and again. @RobinLehner has the @pepsi Save of the Night and the @NYIslanders have a 2-0 series lead. #StanleyCup pic.twitter.com/bd9uHwNiSo
