Winning goal: Matt Martin’s first of the playoffs made it 3-0 at 17:57 of the second period.
Key statistic: The Islanders are the fourth team in NHL history to face a 2-1 series deficit in at least three rounds within a postseason (also 1989 Flyers, 1993 Maple Leafs and 2010 Canadiens). They have won Game 3 each time, and will now aim to become the first team to overcome a 2-1 series deficit to win three rounds in one playoff year.
Turning point: Ryan Pulock’s sliding block on Ryan McDonagh’s spinning backhander with time running out was the biggest save of the game and preserved the win.
