The Tampa Bay Lighting have been on a absolute tear, one of their most unbelievable statistics are that they have yet to lose a playoff series since 3 years ago to the Columbus Blue Jackets where they were swept in a near impossible odd situation.

During that time that Tampa got swept, Artemi Panarin and Nikita Kucherov visually showed they did not like each other too much despite playing together on team Russia.

Artemi Panarin gave Kucherov quite the handshake after sweeping him, and Kucherov wasn't having any of it.

Fast forward three years and Artemi Panarin is now on the New York Rangers facing Kucherov on the Lighting. The Rangers had a 2 to 0 goal lead in game 3, while being up 2 games to 0 in the series and somehow blew it. Tampa proceeded to win 4 STRAIGHT games- and Kucherov for the last laugh with the biggest smile on his face!
