Former Florida Panthers defenseman Jason Garrison struck the decisive blow in game two, as the Tampa Bay Lightning held off the Chicago Blackhawks to even the Stanley Cup final with a 4-3 win. 20-year-old rookie goalie Andrei Vasilevskiy came off the bench twice in the third period to get the win in relief of Ben Bishop. The series shifts to Chicago’s United Center tonight for game three. Can the Bolts continue their fine run of postseason road games or will the Blackhawks feed off the energy of the home crowd to regain control of the final round and move one step closer to lifting Lord Stanley’s chalice?
