| Lightning, Islanders, Capitals facing sweeps: Why they trail 3-0 in NHL playoff series |
| The Tampa Bay Lightning were the epitome of playoff success, winning Stanley Cup titles in 2020 and 2021 and reaching the final in 2022. The New York Islanders, meanwhile, went 8-0-1 down the stretch to clinch the third spot in the Metropolitan Division. The Washington Capitals also trail 3-0 in their series after falling to the New York Rangers 3-1 on Friday night. The Panthers and Hurricanes can wrap up their series on Saturday, and the Rangers can do that on Sunday. |

| Steven Stamkos earns ultimate praise from Lightning coach despite 3-0 series hole |
| The Tampa Bay Lightning appeared to be one of the NHL's most dangerous teams in the final weeks of the regular season. At one point in the season, the Lightning appeared to be in jeopardy of missing the playoffs, but they rode the hot hand of Nikita Kucherov and leadership of Steven Stamkos to secure the top Wild Card spot in the Eastern Conference. The Panthers have won the first three games of the series, coming through with clutch efforts when each game was on the line. |

| Under-performing Lightning look to avoid sweep by Panthers |
| The reigning conference champions will look to end the Sunshine State matchup Saturday afternoon in Game 4 in Tampa. While Matthew Tkachuk's two goals — giving him 29 points in his past 23 postseason matches — made headlines, it was Florida's fourth line of Nick Cousins, Steven Lorentz and Kyle Okposo that was game-changing. The trio had a goal and three assists in the victory and was also on the ice after hemming in their rivals when Brandon Montour put Florida ahead 3-2 late in the second period. |

| Lightning's Jon Cooper issues stern challenge to 'believers' amid 3-0 deficit |
| The Tampa Bay Lightning are in a world of trouble after losing Game 3 of their Eastern Conference first-round series against the Florida Panthers at home on Thursday night. The Bolts are in a 3-0 hole after the 5-3 defeat and on the verge of being the first team eliminated from the 2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs. Tampa head coach Jon Cooper shared an inspirational message for his team as they look to achieve the impossible in the Battle of Florida. “It's tough when you get in situations like this and what you're going to say right at this moment,” the bench boss explained after the heartbreaking loss at Amalie Arena, according to Bally Sports Florida's Gabby Shirley. |

| Lightning struggling on power play, 'need to do better' in Game 4 |
| The Tampa Bay Lightning entered the Stanley Cup Playoffs with the top-ranked power play in the NHL, but through the first three games of their Eastern Conference First Round series against the Florida Panthers, their struggles on special teams have contributed to them falling behind 3-0. Game 4 of the best-of-7 series is Saturday at Amalie Arena (5 p.m. ET; MAX, truTV, TBS, BSSUN, BSFL, SNP, SNW, SNE, TVAS). For the season, Tampa Bay converted on 28.6 percent of their power plays, including 31.2 percent at home. In this series, the Lightning are just 2-for-12 (16.7 percent), including a four-minute power play in the third period of Game 2 during which they could only generate two shots on goal. |

| Lightning can’t get over hump, drop Game 2 to Panthers in overtime |
| SUNRISE — Throughout this season, the Lightning never have made anything easy for themselves. Whether it was having to rally in the second half of the regular season to make the playoffs or forcing themselves to come from behind in their first two postseason games but not being able to get over the hump. The Lightning haven’t played poorly, and Game 2 of their first-round series against the ... |

| Defensemen injuries are already piling up early in the NHL playoffs |
| Deep NHL playoff runs Jason Demers went on during his playing career usually ended the same way. Coach Rod Brind'Amour said afterward the situation was “not looking good," and it's the first major test of depth for the slight championship favorite Hurricanes. |

| Lightning’s Luke Glendening doesn’t take playoff opportunity for granted |
| SUNRISE — No hockey player feels 100% healthy going into the postseason. The grind of the 82–game schedule — all the minutes, all the hits, the blocked shots and the tired legs — adds up. Players rely on the adrenaline the playoff atmosphere provides, and the realization that it’s tough to even get an opportunity to win a Stanley Cup. You don’t want to look back and think you didn’t give it ... |
