The Tampa Bay Lightning and the New York Rangers are coming into Sunday's clash tied at 2-2 in this Eastern Conference finals series. The Rangers equalized the series with a 5-1 win Friday, the first time in this post-season they won a game by more than one goal. I expect another close contest tonight and would not be surprised to see the Lightning prevail at MSG as they did in Game 2 in the series.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. The Lightning's Surging Offense - Tampa Bay has scored 14 goals in this series and Tyler Johnson is on fire with four goals and two assists over the first four games in the series as Tampa Bay's Triplets (Johnson, Ondrej Palat and Nikita Kucherov) have combined for 25 of Tampa Bay's 48 postseason goals. Henrik Lundqvist in the Rangers net made 38 saves Friday but has a mere .891 SV% in the series.

2. Situational - The Lightning have won six of the last eight meetings and are 6-2 in their last eight games playing on one days rest.

3. X-Factor - The Rangers have been unable to contain the Lightning's high-octane power play unit who is 5-for-16 so far in the series.

Selection: This is a play on the Tampa Bay Lightning +1.5 (5*)
