The Tampa Bay Lightning are going to the Stanley Cup Final for the second straight year.

The defending champs punched their ticket to the finals Friday with a 1-0 win in Game 7 against the New York Islanders. Tampa Bay was stingy defensively, as Andrei Vasilevskiy only had to make 18 saves for the shutout. Yanni Gourde's opening marker stood as the game-winner.

Tampa Bay will look to become the second team this century to win back-to-back Stanley Cups after the Pittsburgh Penguins in 2016 and 2017.

Game 1 against the Montreal Canadiens is set for Monday night in Tampa Bay.
