WATCH Lightning vs. Rangers Live Stream Online, Stanley Cup Playoffs 2015 Final Game 7: NHL Eastern Conference Preview & Predictions

It's finally that time of year - the Stanley Cup playoffs are here!

The Washington Capitals and Montreal Canadiens are out. Now, the Tampa Bay Lightning battle it out on the ice against the New York Rangers in highly-anticipated Game 7 of the series on Friday, May 28 at 8:00 p.m. EST at NYC's legendary Madison Square Garden. Read on to see where fans can watch and listen to a live stream of the FINAL Eastern Conference playoff game online and catch up-to-date feeds and coverage on highlight plays and scores.

Check out a thorough preview of this pivotal match-up over at Yahoo Sports.

According to NESN sports reporter Nicholas Goss:

Key Player For Rangers: Brassard was the best player on the ice in Game 6 with a team-leading five points (three goals, two assists), 10 shots on goal and a 53.6 win percentage on faceoffs. A similar performance Friday night likely would give the Rangers a Cup Final berth for the second consecutive season.

Key Player For Lightning: Tampa Bay captain Steven Stamkos has played very well in this series with four goals and three assists in the last five games. However, Stamkos was held scoreless with just two shots in Game 6, and his challenge won't get any easier in Game 7 when the Rangers have the last change and can match up their Ryan McDonagh-Dan Girardi shutdown pairing against Tampa Bay's top line.

Prediction: The Rangers have won six consecutive Game 7s at Madison Square Garden, and that, combined with Lundqvist's stellar elimination game record, makes it difficult to pick against the Blueshirts. New York wins 4-2.

The series is currently tied 3-3. Whichever team snags a victory tonight will advance to the 2015 Stanley Cup.

Meanwhile, the Western Conference finals are also tied between the Chicago Blackhawks and Anaheim Ducks. Game 7 will take place on Saturday night (May 29).

The game will be broadcasted live on local channels NBC, CBC and TVA, but fans can also listen in on the radio at 97.1 The Ticket, CJBK, KTUI-FM, and ESPN NY.
