Episode 45 of the Tri-State Hockey Podcast presented by bet365 features Jonny Lazarus, Arthur Staple, and Mike Rupp bouncing around the biggest storylines in the NHL playoffs, the draft lottery, and the latest surrounding the Rangers, Islanders, and Devils.

Plus, they debate which superstar could someday fit with the Rangers, former Tri-State players still alive in the playoffs, Gavin McKenna and the NHL Draft Lottery, Ilya Sorokin’s Vezina finalist case, Matthew Schaefer’s Calder buzz, and whether Schaefer should ever be rushed into the Islanders captaincy conversation.

Bottom Six Minutes: Martin St-Louis’s lineup changes pay dividends in game five -
With the series tied at two apiece, the Montreal Canadiens and Tampa Bay Lightning were back in Florida for a crucial game five matchup. The Habs went on the road with a bit of a different look to their lineup, and grinded out a 3-2 win in which they surrendered two separate one-goal leads. Now, they get the opportunity to go back to the Bell Centre on Friday with a chance to eliminate the Lightning and move on to the second round of the playoffs. Jon Cooper is widely regarded as one of, if not the best coach in the NHL. Martin St-Louis had a few tricks up his sleeve though, and he pulled them out to get a clutch win. Chief among them was the insertion of Brendan Gallagher into the lineup.

AHL: Xhekaj, Kähkönen lead Rocket to Game 1 win to start playoff campaign -
Florian Xhekaj scored a goal and Kaapo Kähkönen made 20 saves as the Laval Rocket beat the Toronto Marlies 3-1 on Wednesday night at Place Bell. The win gives Laval a 1-0 lead in their best-of-five North Division semifinal series. Joshua Roy scored the eventual game-winning goal and Samuel Blais scored into the empty net for the Rocket. The Rocket were playing their first game of the playoffs, while the Marlies beat the Rochester Americans 2-1 in their three-game series to advance. Laval could have had a much different start to the game. Just 5:21 into the first period, they had two players in the penalty box needing to kill a five-on-three for just under a minute. They succeeded and a few minutes later, Xhekaj got them on the board. A loose puck landed on his stick in the slot, and he made no mistake to get the puck past Dennis Hildeby. That goal would hold up as the only scoring until the third period. Both teams had chances, but
