A night of hockey before the next Colorado Avalanche gameday! It’s a double header tonight of two Eastern Conference playoff matchups heading into a pivotal Game 3. Both are on early but in a staggered start at 5 and 5:30 p.m. so it should be continuous action. Sit back and enjoy some of these games before the Colorado Avalanche host their own Game 3 tomorrow night.
First up, the Florida Panthers aim to take a stranglehold on their Atlantic Division foes, the Tampa Bay Lightning. The first two games have ended in a 3-2 score in favor of the Cats but what will happen as the series shifts to Tampa?

Following a crazy comeback and finish in Carolina, the Hurricanes are also up two games on the New York Islanders hoping to make quick work of the series. Ilya Sorokin is expected to take the net as he tries to turn the tide for the Islanders.
