As of this writing, the Tampa Bay Lightning’s lead remains at 2-0. The Detroit Red Wings have goalie Petr Mrazek to thank for that.
Mrazek’s stick save against Brian Boyle might just be the best of the playoffs, and would probably be in the running for save of 2014-15, in general:

The second period was pretty wild early on, really, as Mrazek made another big save and Steven Stamkos became involved in another penalty-filled fracas:
Lightning - Red Wings is a Game 6, but they’re bringing some Game 7 intensity (or at least mutual dislike) to this one.
