The Tampa Bay Lightning aren’t the only team in their organization going to the playoffs, as their American Hockey League affiliate, the Syracuse Crunch, will begin their postseason campaign with a series against the Cleveland Monsters.
Since the Crunch earned the second seed in the North Division, they earned a bye in the first-round and advanced directly to the North Division Semifinals.

Game 1 - Fri., Apr. 24 - Syracuse at Cleveland, 7:00 P.M ET.
Game 2 - Sun., Apr. 26 - Syracuse at Cleveland, 4:00 P.M ET.
