Friday Caterwaul: Lightning win 2-1 in overtime to eliminate scrappy Islanders

Anthony Cirelli took a pass from Barclay Goodrow and just barely scored 13:18 into overtime to give the Tampa Bay Lightning a 2-1 win over the New York Islanders in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Final.

The Lightning will be going to the Stanley Cup Final for the third time in franchise history. Tampa Bay won Lord Stanley’s chalice in 2004 and lost to the Chicago Blackhawks in 2015.

Victor Hedman scored the other Tampa Bay goal and Andrei Vasilevskiy made 26 saves for the Bolts, who will play the Dallas Stars for the title starting Saturday night.
