The New York Islanders never found their game during another poor afternoon start, and it cost them as the Boston Bruins completed a 3-0 season series sweep with a 3-1 win in Boston.
Despite a terrible first and mostly uninspiring final two periods, the Isles were within a puncher's chance to claim something from the game until the final minutes. The backbreaker was a go-ahead and ultimately game-winner conceded in the final 10 seconds of the second period. Once the Bruins got their insurance goal with 2:34 left in regulation, the Isles pulled their goalie for a sixth attacker but mounted nothing.
