Tampa Bay would go on to skate past the Philadelphia Flyers in the Eastern Conference Finals in seven games sending the Lightning on to face the Calgary Flames in the franchises first-ever Stanley Cup Finals. The series would go to seven games with each team winning two of their three games on the road.
