Anthony Beauvillier scored 1:08 into overtime to send Nassau Coliseum into another round of bedlam and this conference final series to Tampa for a do-or-die Game 7 that will send the winner to the Stanley Cup final.
Needing a much better start than the escalated-quickly disaster of Game 5, the Isles came out with focus and purpose in a penalty-free first period. But the Lightning opened up a 1-0 lead with a goal from nonstop scorer Braydon Point with four minutes left in the period. In the second, as penalties started to be called and the teams canceled each others power plays, the Lightning added another from Anthony Cirelli, who made it 2-0 at 12:36.
