TAMPA -- A pair of third-year players receiving their initial dose of playoff fever this spring sat down with NHL.com this week to provide some insight into the NHL's second season.
And despite the six-year age difference and the fact Tampa Bay Lightning center Steven Stamkos and Pittsburgh Penguins defenseman Ben Lovejoy excel at different positions, they certainly seem to be on the same page when the subject shifts to postseason hockey.
Both players were credited with their first playoff point on Monday when the Penguins scored a 3-2 victory to grab a 2-1 series lead in this best-of-7 that resumes Wednesday at St. Pete Times Forum.
