It’s also unclear if the Lightning captain will be ready for Game 1. #tblightning Jon Cooper said Steven Stamkos won't be available for Saturday's round-robin finale against the Flyers. Wouldn't say whether he'd be ready for Game 1. "Injuries are unpredictable." Said he's rehabbing, Cooper will let us know when his status changes— Joe Smith (@JoeSmithTB) August 7, 2020 Yesterday’s Results New York Islanders 5-1 Florida Panthers – Islanders wins series 3-1 The Panthers join a list of eliminated teams after a big loss against the Islanders. The Isles took a two goal lead in the first period after two goals by Anthony Beauvillier. Mike Hoffman gave the Panthers a hope, scoring a power play goal at the end of the period, but the Isles dictated the rest of the game and finished the series with a 5-1 win Nashville Predators 3-4 Arizona Coyotes – Coyotes win series 3-1 Unlike the Panthers in the previous game, the Predators managed to fight back after trailing two goals by the start of second period. Matt Duchene started a comeback with a power play goal and Viktor Arvidsson tied a game four minutes later. Jordan Oesterle gave the Yotes the lead with a snipe from the blueline at the start of the third period. The Predators responded with pressure on Darcy Kuemper’s net which resulted in a Filip Forsberg goal, forcing the overtime. However the Predators still couldn’t save the game as Brad Richardson scored the game-winning goal in the overtime, sending the Arizona Coyotes to the first round. Darcy Kuemper has set a franchise record for most saves in a post season game, stopping 49 shots. Pittsburgh Penguins 0-2 Montreal Canadiens - Canadiens win series 3-1 Despite the status of the game it didn’t really feel like one of the team were facing the elimination on Friday’s afternoon. The Penguins stars never managed to find their game: Evgeni Malkin recorded just one point in four games in Toronto, Kris Letang is heading home without any point and Sidney Crosby, who was still probably one of the best players for the Pens in the “bubble“, remained scoreless on his 33th birthday. Twenty-two saves were enough for Carey Price to record the 6th postseason shutout in his career. The first two periods were finished without goals, and two goals from Artturi Lehkonen and Shea Weber in the third period helped the Habs to advance to the first round. Edmonton Oilers 2-3 Chicago Blackhawks - Blackhawks win series 3-1 Connor McDavid is leading the scoring race in the 2020 postseason with nine points in four games, however it’s highly unlikely that the Oilers forward find it comforting. The 12th-seeded Chicago Blackhawks advanced to the first round after beating the Oilers thanks to Dominik Kubalik goal in the third period. However the Oilers still can finish the season on a positive note winning the 1st overall pick in Draft Lottery on Monday, because that’s what they do, unlike winning in the playoffs. Toronto Maple Leafs 4-3 Columbus Blue Jackets - series tied 2-2 The Leafs avoided elimination in another thrilling game between these teams. Just like the Leafs one day before, the Jackets blew a three-goal lead in the third period. During the last five minutes of the period, the Leafs tied the game with goals by William Nylander, John Tavares and Zach Hyman. Auston Matthews completed the comeback in overtime, saving the Leafs from an early elimination in their hometown. Both teams will face each other on Sunday to determine the advancing team. Vancouver Canucks 5-4 Minnesota Wild - Canucks win series 3-1 In the last yesterday’s game the Vancouver Canucks beat the Minnesota Wild in overtime, advancing to the first round for the first time since the 2015 NHL Playoffs. Quinn Hughes scored his first postseason goal, and recorded six points in four games and Christopher Tanev scored a game-winning goal just 11 seconds after start of overtime. It was also probably the last career game for the Wild’s Mikko Koivu. Today’s Other Game Vegas Golden Knights vs. Colorado Avalanche 3:00 PM ET; NBC, TVAS, SN Both teams remain unbeaten in Edmonton and will decide the 1st seeding in face-to-face match-up. The winner of tonight’s game will get the Chicago Blackhawks in the first round, and loser - the Arizona Coyotes Other News and Notes Reportedly the Florida Panthers decided to make some changes in their management after elimination from the qualifying round. Hearing a change is coming with the Florida Panthers.

Jonathan Dyer-USA TODAY Sports The Rays offense has been pretty sleepy for far too much of this short season. It didn’t perk up tonight, but in a well pitched game with tight defense the one run they scratched out in the eighth inning was all they needed. Blake Snell was the starter; he went three innings, throwing 59 pitches. He didn’t give up any hits but he did walk two, and had a ton of deep counts. He also struck out five. It looked like his fastball was occasionally wild - when he missed with it he missed badly. But his curve was amazing, and he was mixing his pitches well enough to take full advantage - batters seemed to be looking for the fastball on several occasions and whiffed on the unexpected curve ball. If Zunino was calling those pitches then credit to him for making the most of Blake’s stuff. For whatever reason, the Rays are clearly building Snell up VERY cautiously. In his first Summer camp practice outing he threw 47 pitches. In his three regular season starts he’s added just a few pitches each time.

He threw five innings, giving up one hit and no walks. The Rays half of the inning seemed to fly by. If you recall, there were a couple of years that Tanaka just dominated the Rays — every game was the kind of game where you just hoped someone, anyone got a hit. Last year the matchup was a bit more favorable to the Rays, but his ability to keep the Rays off balance tonight reminded me of why I hate seeing his name on the lineup card. The teams largely traded zeros, as both went to the bullpen early. The Rays were helped by a few good plays, such as this sliding catch by Austin Meadows. Meadows also did a great job popping up to throw the ball in, preventing the runner from advancing, which helped keep the Yankees off the board.

Nick Anderson replaced him, also walking a batter to load the bases with two outs. But he buckled down to strike out Gary Sanchez on three “I’m just going to throw hard over the plate” fastballs to end the inning. The Rays sixth pitcher was Chaz Roe. He started the eighth by giving up a double to Mike Tauchman (the only extra base hit for the Yankees). But the Rays got a break: Tauchman tried to take third on a LeMahieu grounder, but Adames smoothly fielded the ball and fired to third to get the lead runner.

New Yankee pitcher Ottavino walked the first two batters, who advanced to 2nd and 3rd on a wild pitch. Michael Perez, pinch hitting for Mike Zunino, first fouled a ball painfully off his knee, but then managed to loft a fly ball just deep enough into center field to bring a run home Rays up 1-0. So the Rays just needed to get three outs, and they kept Chaz Roe in the game to face a string of righties. Fly out, strike out, fly out and the Rays were celebrating with air high fives.
