New York Islanders Fall to Lightning Despite Late Push (Highlights)

Ever since the playoff series against the Tampa Bay Lightning the New York Islanders looked completely overmatched by the Tampa team. Tonight was no different for most of the way.

Anthony Cirelli got the scoring going for Tampa Bay just 2:09 into the game. That goal would set the tone for this one, it was pretty clear it was going to be a high scoring game from the jump. Just 21 seconds later Tyler Johnson made it a two-goal lead.

Ryan Pulock got the Islanders on the board with an absolute rocket of a shot.
