The New York Islanders have come back to tie their series against the Tampa Bay Lightning at two. This is the third series in a row that they’ve won Game 3 after going down 2-1.
They haven’t been perfect, but given the fact that they’re playing the reigning Stanley Cup champions who are arguably the best team in hockey, they’ve done well.
Barry Trotz is coaching a good game and several of the team’s key players such as Mathew Barzal, the entire fourth line, Adam Pelech, and Ryan Pulock are stepping up.
The Islanders are playing with an edge and doing the nitty-gritty to keep them in this one.
