NHL

The league is unveiling broadcasts with play by play and color analysis for each game of the Stanley Cup Final in partnership with P-X-P.

The Florida Panthers, back in the title round for the second consecutive year and seeking their first championship, will take on the Edmonton Oilers — a team looking to return to hockey’s mountaintop for the first time since 1990.

The Panthers won 6-1 in Game 5, taking a playoff series against the Lightning for the first time in franchise history. It was Tampa Bay's second consecutive first-round exit after reaching the Stanley Cup finals three straight years.

Matthew Tkachuk had two goals as the Florida Panthers defeated the Tampa Bay Lighting to take a 3-0 lead in the first-round playoff series.

Carter Verhaeghe scored the fifth overtime winner in his career, lifting a backhander past Andrei Vasilevskiy. The series heads to Tampa for Games 3 and 4.

It was all tied up heading into the third period when the Panthers scored early to take the lead. They scored again when the Lightening pulled their goalie with about 3 minutes remaining.

The series opens in Sunrise on Sunday. Game 2 is Tuesday, and the series comes to Amalie Arena for Games 3 and 4 starting Thursday.

The Lightning now know their first-round opponent: the Florida Panthers. Game 1 of the series is slated for Sunday afternoon in Sunrise.

The Bolts open Tuesday at 5:30 p.m. at Amalie Arena. Fan activities before the "happy hour" faceoff begin at 1 p.m. Of note: The world's greatest goalie is recovering from back surgery, leaving a big hole to fill.

There’s never been a season where one metro area has gotten to celebrate winning both the NBA title and the NHL’s Stanley Cup. The Miami Heat and Florida Panthers can change that.

A year ago, the Lightning rallied from 2-1 and 3-2 series deficits to eliminate the Maple Leafs from the opening round in seven games.

A group of athletes - including one who played for the Lightning - traveled to Jamaica to try psychedelics as a way to help cope with the aftereffects of concussions and a career of body-pounding injuries. Will this still largely untested treatment work?
