Not since Game 7 against Tampa in 2021 had the Islanders played a more important match, and this time, they delivered.
This all-important victory over the Lightning was a 6-1 demolition on Thursday night at UBS Arena that the Islanders sorely needed after scoring just one goal over their previous two games.
With the scoreboard-watching only bringing a rise in anxiety — the Panthers and Penguins both won Thursday, as well — it would take the Islanders until the second period for those shots to start translating into goals. Then, Brock Nelson and Kyle Palmieri struck just 49 seconds apart, first with Nelson letting loose a slot one-timer off Samuel Bolduc’s feed from the corner at 9:54 of the period.Ilya Sorokin shut the door on the Lightning.Even with sloppy defensive-zone play continuing to dog the Islanders, coming back from a three-goal deficit against them when Ilya Sorokin is in nets is a nearly impossible task.
