Bolts drub Rangers to pull even in Eastern Conference final

That’s more like it. The Lightning dominated the Rangers 4-1 Tuesday to even their NHL Eastern Conference final series at two games apiece.

Tampa Bay won both games on the home ice of Amalie Arena to pull even after the Rangers took two games in New York to open the series.

Game 5 is Thursday at Madison Square Garden.

“They did the right things to win a hockey game,” Rangers coach Gerard Gallant said. “We didn’t block enough shots, we didn’t finish enough hits, the good things that make you win games and that’s what we’ve got to do better.”
