It’s down to the Final Four in hockey and the Tampa Bay Lighting will get the Eastern Conference finals rolling tonight against the New York Islanders in Edmonton, Alberta.

The Islanders could have fatigue issues after a grueling series with the Philadelphia Flyers that concluded on Saturday. The Lightning will be fresh after having a week off and they have had the Isle’s number, winning 12 of the last 16 meetings.
