The New York Islanders — and Nassau Coliseum — are not done yet.
Brock Nelson scored a pair of goals off turnovers during a three-goal second period flurry, and the Islanders advanced to the NHL semifinals by beating the visiting Boston Bruins, 6-2, in Game 6 of their East Division second-round series in front of a raucous sellout crowd of 12,000 in Uniondale, N.Y.
“Whenever you have an opportunity to close a team out, you want to bring your best and I thought we’ve been able to do that both times now, against Pittsburgh and now Boston in front of great fans, great atmospheres,” Nelson said.
