TAMPA, Fla. -- Tyler Johnson scored two goals as the Tampa Bay Lightning beat the New York Islanders 4-1 in Game 2 of an Eastern Conference second-round series on Saturday at Amalie Arena.

The series is tied 1-1. Game 3 is Tuesday at Barclays Center.

Jonathan Drouin and Victor Hedman scored goals for the Lightning and Ben Bishop made 19 saves.
