NEW YORK -- The Tampa Bay Lightning bolted out to a three-goal first-period lead Tuesday night and scored three more times in the second period of a 6-1 rout of the New York Islanders at Barclays Center.
The resounding win capped a six-game road trip and snapped a three-game losing streak for the Lightning (6-4-0), which lost to the New York Rangers 6-1 in its previous game Sunday night.
Nikita Kucherov scored the first two goals for the Lightning before Steven Stamkos, Brian Boyle, J.T. Brown and Valtteri Filppula all added a goal apiece. Goalie Ben Bishop, who gave up all six goals to the Rangers, recorded 26 saves while Kucherov added a pair of assists.
