(2) Tampa Bay Lightning vs. (3) Chicago Blackhawks
It's been a long, strange journey for the Blackhawks, who were almost certain to be led in goal by Scott Darling after the first round, but along the way, Corey Crawford rediscovered his game and Patrick Kane looks like his old self. They survived the onslaught of the Ducks' relentless hitting to make it here, and now, they look to make it three championships in six years. The Lightning found a way to score enough goals against a tough Rangers team to make it here. Led by Tyler Johnson, the Lightning are getting goals from everyone, which makes Steven Stamkos' relative lack of production easy to overlook. Oh, and Ben Bishop is growing into a true big game goalie as the playoffs go on.
Prediction: Lightning in 7
