What channel is Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals between the Tampa Bay Lightning and the Pittsburgh Penguins on?

After an exciting Game 1 between the Tampa Bay Lightning and the Pittsburgh Penguins that ended with a 3-1 victory in favor of Tampa Bay, Game 2 will take place on Monday May 16 beginning at 8:00 PM EST. It will take place at Consol Energy Center in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Pittsburgh will be trying to avoid going into Tampa for Games 3 and 4 in a 2-0 hole. They will have to solve Tampa Bay goaltender Andrei Vasilevskiy, who will be the likely starter after Ben Bishop suffered a lower body injury during Game 1. Bishop is listed as day to day. The Penguins will be sticking with rookie goaltender Matt Murray for Game 2.

Tampa will look to continue their hot run as they have won nine of their 11 playoff games this postseason, including four of their five on the road. The Lightning will be led by Victor Hedman, Nikita Kucherov, Tyler Johnson, Jonathan Drouin, and Alex Killorn. Tampa could be getting defenseman Anton Stralman back for Game 2, which would be a huge boost.

Game 2 will be aired nationally on NBC Sports Network beginning at 8:00. The game can also be viewed on your computer or your smartphone thanks to NBC Sports Live Extra.
