Barclay Goodrow’s bad-angle goal with just over seven minutes remaining lifted the Lightning to a 2-1 win over the Hurricanes in Game 1 of their second-round series Sunday at PNC Arena in Raleigh, N.C.

Tampa Bay led 1-0 before Carolina’s Jake Bean tied the game on a power-play goal less than two minutes into the third period.

The Lightning’s Brayden Point opened the scoring with a power-play goal midway through the second period. Victor Hedman and Nikita Kucherov assisted on the goal.

Lightning goaltender Andrei Vasilevskiy stopped 37 of the 38 shots he faced. The Hurricanes’ Alex Nedeljkovic made 28 saves on 30 shots.

Lightning defenseman David Savard was out of the lineup with an upper-body injury. Erik Cernak left the ice late in the second period after getting sandwiched between two Hurricanes players against the end boards, leaving Tampa Bay with five defensemen.

Both teams won their opening-round series in six games, Tampa Bay eliminating Florida and Carolina dispatching Nashville.

Your pregame scouting report

Could they really do it again?

The Lightning sure looked the part of defending Stanley Cup champions during their series-clinching win over the Panthers Wednesday in Tampa.

Their biggest stars shined, they got significant contributions from their third and fourth lines, and they showed they could protect a lead in their Game 6 win. They were dangerous on offense and disciplined in all three zones while dispatching one of the tougher first-round foes with their most complete game of the postseason.

Now, they have to do it all over again against yet another team that finished ahead of them in the Central Division standings starting tonight against the Carolina Hurricanes at PNC Arena in Raleigh, N.C.

The first-place Hurricanes eliminated the fourth-place Predators in six games in their first-round series. But Carolina had more trouble with Nashville than third-place Tampa Bay did with second-place Florida, with the final four games going to overtime.

While the Lightning are as familiar with the Hurricanes as they were with the Panthers (going 4-3-1 in their eight regular-season meetings), they expect a different type of challenge. The Hurricanes are fast and skilled, just like the Panthers. But Carolina pressures the puck in all three zones, taking away opponents’ space.

Which team will get off to the better start in the best-of-seven series?

Follow our live updates, starting at 5 p.m., as the Lightning hope to take the first step toward advancing to the Stanley Cup semifinals.
