Are we all ready for the second round of the NHL postseason?

The New York Islanders certainly are. After winning their first playoff series since 1993 last week – on an OT goal by captain John Tavares no less – the Wild Card squad is poised to face off against the Tampa Bay Lightning on Wednesday night.

New York’s series was far from easy, while the Lightning breezed through their matchup with the Detroit Red Wings and are hoping to put their long rest to good use tonight.

Puck drop for the game is slated for 7 p.m. ET and is being nationally broadcast on NBCSN. Don’t worry if you wont’ be near a TV though. We’ve got ways to stream the game online and on mobile:
