Islanders force Game 7 vs. Lightning on Anthony Beauvillier's OT winner at raucous Nassau Coliseum

Nassau Coliseum has hosted numerous memorable playoff games, before and since the four Stanley Cups from 1980-83, where its foundation literally shook and the frenzied crowd rose to deafening decibel levels.

Put this one high on that list.

The Islanders, rallying from two goals down, forced a Game 7 in their NHL semifinal series with the Lightning as Anthony Beauvillier forced a turnover deep in the offensive zone and scored the winner at 1:08 of overtime as the Islanders won Game 6, 3-2, on Wednesday night.

The delirious fans rained beer bottles onto the ice in celebration.
