Nashvil-San Jose (0:2) 03:00 2,40 3,80 2,50 1
Sharks team scope: San Jose will keep the same lineup for Game 3 that it has used in its first seven Stanley Cup Playoff games. "We're not changing anything that isn't broke," coach Peter DeBoer said. The Sharks, who are 3-0 on the road in the postseason, said they realize they'll need to ramp up their intensity and level of desperation after being outshot and outhit in Game 2. They also want to play a simpler game, dumping pucks deep and going on the forecheck, a formula they got away from Sunday. The Sharks traveled to Nashville on Monday and stayed off the ice.
Predators team scope: Laviolette liked the way Nashville played in Game 2 despite losing. "We needed to get back to the way we were playing coming off that Game 7 (against Anaheim)," he said. "We had defended really hard, played a lot of defense, and then in Game 1 we just didn't seem to be quite ourselves. I thought tonight was probably the best game since Game 6, and we got going in a north direction into the offensive zone, cycling the puck. Lot of chances from in tight." Special teams have been a problem for the Predators; they are 2-for-31 (6.5 percent) on the power play in the postseason, including 1-for-5 against the Sharks, and their penalty kill is 2-for-5 in this series. Forward Craig Smith returned to the lineup Sunday after missing Game 1 with a lower-body injury. He had seven shots but no points in 16:20 of ice time.

Nashville Predators - San Jose Sharks Tip: Nashville to win @ 2,45 Unibet
Playing on tired legs, the Predators got pucks past San Jose goalie Martin Jones only twice in the opener and again on just two occasions in Game 2. Their second lamp-lighter on Sunday required the use of six men, when Rinne was pulled in the midst of a 2-1 (and then 3-1) deficit.

Pittsburgh-Washingt (2:1) 02:00 2,60 4,00 2,70 2
Capitals team scope: Forward Marcus Johansson did not practice Tuesday, one day after being hit by Pittsburgh defenseman Kris Letang late in the first period of Game 3. Trotz said Johansson would be re-evaluated Wednesday. Trotz said physicality has defined this series, but "it'll change as this series goes on." With 4:19 remaining in the first period, Letang delivered the high hit that forced Johansson to leave the game. Johansson returned for the start of the second period. Following the game, Johansson said he never saw Letang coming. Johansson is tied with forward T.J. Oshie for fourth on the Capitals with seven points in nine games in the Stanley Cup Playoffs, trailing defenseman John Carlson (nine) and forwards Alex Ovechkin and Nicklas Backstrom (eight).
Penguins team scope: Letang was suspended one game by the NHL Department of Player Safety on Tuesday for his hit on Johansson. With defenseman Olli Maatta recovering from an upper-body injury, defenseman Justin Schultz is expected to play for the first time since playing 5:52 in Game 1 of the the Eastern Conference First Round against the New York Rangers. Following Game 3, Letang said he never intended to injure Johansson and was relieved he was well enough to return for the second period. Schultz said he is prepared to fill in for Letang, who averages a Penguins-high 29:13 of ice time per game through eight playoff games. "It's all about the winning and the team," Schultz said. "But you definitely want to step in and have an impact if you get the chance and prove a lot of people wrong." Forward Bryan Rust is day-to-day with a lower-body injury sustained blocking two shots 36 seconds into Game 3. Forward Beau Bennett (undisclosed) remains day-to-day and has not been cleared to play, Sullivan said.

Nashvil-San Jose (1:2) 03:00 2,40 3,80 2,50 1
Sharks team scope: San Jose coach Peter DeBoer said Game 4 presents an opportunity to put greater pressure on the Predators. "We were the best road team in the NHL all year, and I like our spot," DeBoer said. "This isn't going to be easy. Nashville beat an excellent Anaheim team, a team that many people picked to win the Stanley Cup, so they obviously have a lot of quality things happening there. So, we knew this wasn't going to be easy going in, but again, we are three games in and we are up 2-1. We are confident, and we are comfortable on the road."
Predators team scope: Nashville found a formula for success in Game 3 and will try to replicate that. The Predators want to play with speed in the neutral zone and establish offensive-zone time. They believe their speed has picked up as the series has progressed. "I think the first game, I thought we could have attacked the game a little more," defenseman Roman Josi said. "Could have played better. I thought the second game we were skating really well, and [Game 3] too. That's kind of our mindset, and that's how we've been playing all year. It's got to be our mindset going forward here in the series."

NYIsland-TampaBay (1:2) 01:00 2,40 3,80 2,50 1
Lightning team scope: Tampa Bay captain Steven Stamkos (vascular surgery) and defenseman Anton Stralman (lower body) did not practice with the Lightning at Prudential Center in Newark, N.J., on Thursday and are unlikely to play. Forward Erik Condra (upper body) and defenseman Matthew Carle (undisclosed) practiced and could be ready. Carle was paired with Slater Koekkoek, an indication he could return. Forward J.T. Brown (upper body) also participated. "I don't have the medical report yet, but they looked OK in practice," coach Jon Cooper said. "Hopefully we get word that everybody's available, and that's a good thing."
Islanders team scope: Defenseman Thomas Hickey was hit by Boyle moments before the latter scored the overtime goal Tuesday, but Hickey said he's OK and ready to play Friday. Forward Ryan Strome, who was a healthy scratch for Game 3, did not skate on the top four lines at practice, but Capuano said it doesn't mean Strome won't play. "I'm not going to talk about the lineup or the lines," Capuano said. "I don't really discuss it too much. Even in practice where we are now, I don't think you can read into that too much. We just basically went with the same lines as we went with in the last game." Goalie Jaroslav Halak practiced again Thursday but likely won't back up Thomas Greiss for Game 4. "I don't know exactly how far along he is," Capuano said.

Washingt-Pittsburgh (1:3) 01:15 2,20 4,20 3,30 1
Penguins team scope: Pittsburgh defenseman Olli Maatta practiced Thursday but is unlikely to play, coach Mike Sullivan said. Maatta was injured in Game 2 by a hit from Capitals defenseman Brooks Orpik and has missed the past two games. "I feel good," Maatta said. "This is the first step towards playing for sure, practicing with the team. I'm happy with the progression." Forward Eric Fehr will play after missing Game 4 because of undisclosed reasons. Defenseman Kris Letang will return from a one-game suspension.
Capitals team scope: Washington defenseman Karl Alzner missed practice because of a maintenance day but is expected to play. Center Mike Richards was sick and did not practice but is expected to play. Coach Barry Trotz shuffled forward lines in practice and might stick with them Saturday. "Using the other side of your brain once in a while when you get someone different in the lineup," Trotz said. "That's really what we're trying to do tomorrow."
