The Islanders haven’t advanced this far in the NHL playoffs since 1993. That’s something they’ll be able to appreciate in the future. At present, though, all their thoughts are on the Lightning.
The teams will open the Eastern Conference finals on Monday night at Rogers Place in Edmonton after the Islanders concluded their second-round series with a 4-0 win over the Flyers in Saturday’s Game 7 at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto.
