5: Sebastian Aho scored two goals, including the deciding goal in overtime, in Game 6 of the First Round. Aho finished the series with five goals, ranking tied for most in a single series in franchise history.
3-0: The Canes were 3-0 in the First Round with Jaccob Slavin in the lineup and just 1-2 without him.
18: Cedric Paquette won the Stanley Cup with the Lightning in 2020. He missed the last six games of the regular season with a lower-body injury and did not play in the First Round, though he was available. Will he see game action against his former team? If so, it won't be because of that sole reason.
"You want to get him in because I know he's effective, but to your point, who are you taking out? At this point, we're playing pretty well, and I like how the group is going," head coach Rod Brind'Amour said. "There's a good chance he'll get in here. With the way things go, very rarely do you get through a whole couple series without guys getting nicked up. He's ready to go if we need him."
