They were often chasing the play. And while staring up at a two-goal deficit at the start of the third period courtesy of Pat Maroon and Nikita Kucherov, Chris Kreider took two penalties and the Rangers were outshot 6-1 through the opening minutes of the final frame.<\/p>\n<p>Lightning captain Steven Stamkos then cleaned up a rebound to put the nail in the Rangers\u2019 coffin less than five minutes into the third. The Rangers were only able to get on the board during a six-on-four power play when Artemi Panarin put one past Tampa goalie Andrei Vasilevskiy, who finished with 33 saves.<\/p>\n<p>The Rangers were without Ryan Strome, who was a last-minute scratch despite taking pregame warm-ups. Strome exited the Rangers\u2019 3-2 loss in Game 3 Sunday afternoon with a lower-body injury, which presumably kept him out of Game 4 as well. As a result, Kevin Rooney drew back into the lineup for the first time since Game 5 of the second-round series against the Hurricanes.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/060722Rangers020CS.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Rangers\" class=\"wp-image-22572421\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/060722Rangers020CS.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/060722Rangers020CS.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/060722Rangers020CS.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Igor Shesterkin of the Rangers reacts after he allows a goal to Nikita Kucherov.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Corey Sipkin<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>After Filip Chytil absorbed a hit from Lightning defenseman Victor Hedman in the second period, however, the Rangers were suddenly down to 11 forwards. The Rangers said Chytil suffered an upper-body injury.<\/p>\n<p>But the Lightning were in complete control from puck drop. Just over 2 \u00b9\/\u2082 minutes into the game, Tampa Bay defenseman Zach Bogosian skated right around Ryan Reaves and then shifted right around Justin Braun to put a shot on net that Maroon cleaned up to open the scoring.<\/p>\n<p>Less than four minutes later, the Rangers continued to struggle with slowing down Bogosian as Reaves was called for a trip on the upstate New York native to send the Lightning to the power play. Tampa Bay thought it doubled its score when the puck ended up under Shesterkin\u2019s pads, which Lightning players pushed over the goal line with their sticks. A short review ended with a no-goal call.<\/p>\n<p>The Lightning ultimately didn\u2019t need it. They scored in many other ways, because that\u2019s what champions do. And boy, did Tampa Bay look like a team that knows how to win.\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
