Playoffs Day 23
There was only one game yesterday, but it went into overtime and the score was 2-1 in favor of the Lightning and that gets them a 3-1 series lead heading back to Tampa Bay. Kyle Okposo was the first and only scorer for the Islanders when he got a pass in front of the net on a tic-tac-toe play. That was his second goal of the playoffs. Nikita Kucherov scored his eighth goal of the playoffs to tie up the game by putting in a one timer by the side of the net. Jason Garrison won it in overtime with a bomb from the point on a one timer. The Islanders could have easily been up 3-1 in the series of at least have it 2-2 if the could have kept a lead or win one of the games in overtime. One reason the Lightning are up is because of depth and experience. The Lightning made it to the finals last year and were only 2 wins away from winning it all, but the Islanders in 2013 and 2015 have just been eliminated in the first round. That is really playing a key role for the Lightning this series. Can the Lightning finish the series off? Will the Islanders make a comeback? Will the Islanders make any changes for game 5? stay tuned....
