Lightning, Bruins Move Past Penguins And Canadiens; Second Round Begins Tonight

Another overtime winner – by first time playoff hero Nathan Horton – helped move the Boston Bruins past the Montreal Canadiens in seven games to make the Conference semi-finals. In the other game last night, Tampa Bay Lightning goaltender Dwayne Roloson stopped 36 shots en route to a 1-0 shutout of the Pittsburgh Penguins. Both teams that progressed staged impressive comebacks: the Bruins were down 2-0 and very nearly 3-0 to start their series, and the Lightning were down 3-1 to the initially dominant Penguins to storm back and win the last three games of the series.

The second round begins tonight with a match-up between the Vancouver Canucks and Nashville Predators. What time? Schedule for the second round, you ask? Boom.
