Semyon Varlamov was forced from the crease in the first period of Game 2 of the New York Islanders semi-final series against the Tampa Bay Lightning. Not because he allowed a ton of rubber to go through him, but because of a collision with Brayden Point.

The collision came with just six minutes left in the opening frame.
