“It’s a big win for us, obviously, but 8-0, 2-1, 3-1, it’s still one game,” Lightning defenseman Victor Hedman said Tuesday.
The Lightning matched a Tampa Bay record for most goals in a Stanley Cup Playoff game in an 8-0 win Monday.

Jan Rutta didn’t play in the third period after he was struck with a high cross-check from Islanders center Mathew Barzal at the end of the second period.

Hedman played a playoff-low 20:43, including 4:27 in the third period, when the Lightning were down to five defensemen with Rutta out.
“Any time at this time of the year you can give the guys a little bit of a break that play strong minutes, you have to,” Cooper said.
