The late goal gave Tampa Bay a 2-0 lead in the Florida series. Out west, the St. Louis Blues delivered the first loss of the postseason to the Colorado Avalanche thanks to David Perron’s two-goal night. An empty-net goal slammed the door on Game 2 to even the series between the Blues and Avs. We’re deep into Round 2 as the Stanley Cup Playoffs skate on.
