-- The Lightning can eliminate the Devils and move into the Eastern Conference Second Round with a win at Amalie Arena. To stay alive, New Jersey will have to find a way to shut down Tampa Bay forward Nikita Kucherov, who has nine points (four goals, five assists) in the first four games. The Devils also must improve their penalty-killing; Tampa Bay is 5-for-14 (35.7 percent) with the extra man through four games, including 3-for-4 (75.0 percent) at home.
-- The Capitals will try to become the first team in this series to win a game at home. Columbus won Games 1 and 2 in overtime at Capital One Arena, but Washington got even with two wins at Nationwide Arena, including a dominant 4-1 victory in Game 4 on Thursday. Washington will be without forward Andre Burakovsky (upper-body injury) for the rest of the series.
Toronto Maple Leafs at Boston Bruins (8 p.m. ET; NBC, CBC, SN, TVAS) --The Bruins didn't miss center Patrice Bergeron (upper-body injury) in Game 4, a 3-1 victory at Air Canada Centre that put them within one victory of moving into the Eastern Conference Second Round for the first time since 2014. Bergeron skated Friday and might play. Toronto coach Mike Babcock said goaltender Frederik Andersen needs to "have a night" after putting together a 4.12 goals-against average and .880 save percentage through four games and has been outplayed by Boston's Tuukka Rask (2.27 GAA, .926 save percentage).
