When the Islanders went up 3-0 in Game 4, it wasn’t easy to imagine the game coming down to a crucial Ryan Pulock blocked shot. The Lightning made the Islanders sweat, but New York pulled off enough plays to win Game 4 by a score of 3-2, thus tying this tight series 2-2.
As sharp as Semyon Varlamov has been — he was great again in Game 4 — maybe it’s fitting that Pulock saved the day. This continues to be a team effort for the Islanders, who will get at least one more night in front of their raucous fans after winning Game 4.
