We got that first one and they just got riled up and in overtime, I've never seen anything like that.
NY ISLANDERS SCORE SERIES
Perhaps that helps explains the brainfart by Blake Coleman, who had several teammate options but put the puck on Beauvillier’s stick low in the right wing faceoff circle.īeauvillier made no doubt, getting off a quick high shot while Andrei Vasilevskiy was still getting set.Ī rain of cans and other celebratory items hit the ice from fans as the Islanders accomplished two huge things for them at once: extended this series to a Game 7, and - if that game doesn’t go their way - made the last playoff moment at the Coliseum a jubilant one.īarzal on the crowd: "That was amazing. The Isles came out in overtime beating the Lightning to pucks, and it looked like the visitors still had intermission legs. Semyon Varlamov’s saves on that one, with Matt Martin in the box for high-sticking, were huge. Scott Mayfield got the equalizer on a bad-angle shot at 11:16, and the Isles survived a Lightning power play with just under six minutes to go. That put the Isles just a shot away going into the third period, a period where they came out strong but failed to convert a 5-on-3. #Stanle圜up /AGCZMSlrm2- NHL on NBC Sports June 24, 2021 The #Isles ANSWER and are back within one. Jordan Eberle got one back just under four minutes after Cirelli’s goal, on an absolutely disgusting backhand from distance after Mathew Barzal gained the blueline with a rush through the neutral zone. The task looked daunting against a team that tossed shutouts to close out series in the previous two rounds, but the Islanders responded quickly. In the second, as penalties started to be called and the teams canceled each others power plays and the Isles blew a 5-on-3, the Lightning added another from Anthony Cirelli, who made it 2-0 at 12:36.
But the Lightning opened up a 1-0 lead with a goal from nonstop scorer Brayden Point with four minutes left in the period. Needing a much better start than the escalated-quickly disaster of Game 5, the Isles came out with focus and purpose in a penalty-free first period. Anthony Beauvillier scored 1:08 into overtime to send Nassau Coliseum into another round of bedlam and this conference final series to Tampa for a do-or-die Game 7 that will send the winner to the Stanley Cup final.
