Islanders 4, Panthers 3 (OT): Thomas Hickey is Game 3 overtime hero

Thomas Hickey scored 12:31 into overtime to give the New York Islanders a 4-3 win in their first-ever playoff game at Barclays Center in Brooklyn.

The goal to win Game 3 over the Florida Panthers gave the Isles a 2-1 series lead, and it came after a big two-goal comeback in the second period after the team was but a few millimeters (and a coach's challenge review for offside) of trailing 3-0.

In a playoff-story kind of turn, the goal also came with the Islanders' worst line of this series on the ice against the Panthers' most frightening line of overtime.
