Chicago & egrave; Nashville Predators 4-2 on sets and then not leaving even the crumbs to the Minnesota Wild.

The Lightning took advantage in the first round the edge of the ice to overcome Detroit 4-3 and have life more & ugrave; easy to overcome against the Canadiens 4-2 despite the belated awakening of Montreal after the 3-0 start series. To the relief of Florida, the key is in Steven Stamkos, after having slipped 43 goals in the regular season (second only to the 53 of Alex Ovechkin), in the last five games & egrave; always scored points. & nbsp;
