TAMPA, Fla. — Victor Hedman scored twice and Ben Bishop stopped 28 shots Sunday, helping the Tampa Bay Lightning beat the New York Islanders 4-0 and reach the Eastern Conference final for the second straight year.

Tampa Bay eliminated the Islanders in five games, winning four straight after dropping the series opener.

Hedman scored an unassisted goal from the slot at 13:49 of the first period, then beat Islanders goaltender Thomas Greiss again on a second-period power play that gave Tampa Bay a three-goal lead.

Nikita Kucherov and Brian Boyle also scored for the Lightning, who will next face either Pittsburgh or Washington.

Bishop, a former UMaine goalie, earned his fifth career playoff shutout, fourth in the deciding game of a series. He blanked Detroit 1-0 in Game 5 to end Tampa Bay’s first-round matchup.

The loss ended New York’s deepest playoff run since 1993.

SENATORS: Guy Boucher was hired as the team’s new head coach on Sunday.

The 44-year-old Boucher replaces Dave Cameron, who was fired on April 12. Boucher has coached in Switzerland following two-plus seasons leading the Lightning, whom he took to the conference final in 2010-11.

WILD: Bruce Boudreau agreed to a four-year deal Saturday night to coach the Wild, giving Minnesota the most-sought candidate on the market.

Boudreau, known as an offensive-minded coach, led Anaheim and Washington to eight division titles in nine years, but was fired April 29 by the Ducks after they were eliminated by Nashville in the first round of the playoffs.
