This is it, folks. The New York Islanders, after stealing Game 5 in double-overtime on the road, have a chance on home ice to eliminate the Pittsburgh Penguins and advance to the second round.
It is just like 2016 against the Florida Panthers. That time, the Islanders looked destined to be shutout at home in Game 6, only to tie it late and win it in the second overtime. But the big difference—other than, obviously, the opponent—is that Barry Trotz is their coach now. He will have them prepared for tonight. He smells blood, and so will his team.
