NEW YORK -- Jason Garrison scored 1:34 into overtime Friday night as the Tampa Bay Lightning took a commanding 3-1 series lead in the Eastern Conference semifinals with a 2-1 win over the New York Islanders at Barclays Center.
The Lightning, the reigning Eastern Conference champions, are one win away from advancing to the Eastern Conference Final. Game 5 is scheduled for Sunday afternoon at Amalie Arena in Tampa.
Garrison's goal came at the end of a frantic sequence in which Islanders defenseman Calvin De Haan lost his stick. Garrison fired a slap shot from just in front of the Stanley Cup Playoffs logo to give Tampa Bay its first lead of the night
Kyle Okposo scored in the first period for the Islanders.
