There has been plenty of drama in the NHL playoffs this season. More than one in every four games were decided by a score of 2-1 and the 4.88 goals per game is the lowest in an NHL postseason since 2012 (4.84). ''When you get to the heightened intensity and how you're hanging on every play of every single game in the playoffs, a 2-1 game becomes pretty darn exciting,'' Tampa Bay Lightning coach Jon Cooper told the Canadian Press. ''That probably masks a little bit of not so many goals being scored because it's the win-at-all-costs type of atmosphere and I don't think people care as much about the score.'' Among the four teams left, only the Chicago Blackhawks, who split goaltending time in the first round between Corey Crawford and Scott Darling, have allowed more than two goals a game.
