Well this was quite the game. There must be a full moon, or mercury in gatorade or something, because the New York Islanders scored three power play goals, something they haven’t done since that insane 5 minute major against the Detroit Red Wings over three years ago.
Those three power play goals helped the Islanders built up a 4-2 lead, then a 5-2 lead after Brock Nelson scored early in the third period, but the Bruins would charge back to make it 5-4. The Bruins definitely dictated play for the vast majority of the game, but those pesky Islanders bent but didn’t break, and now they’ll have a shot to clinch a spot in the Conference Final at the Coliseum on Wednesday night.
