Brayden Point, Lightning Take Down Islanders in Game 3 for 2-1 Series Lead

The Tampa Bay Lightning hit the road for Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Semifinals against the New York Islanders and promptly re-took home ice advantage with a 2-1 victory at Nassau Coliseum on Thursday night.

After dropping Game 1 of the series at home, the Bolts repaid the favor in New York to grab a 2-1 series lead in the best of seven matchup.

Following a tirade by Islanders coach Barry Trotz towards officials who allowed the Bolts to score with too many men on the ice in Tampa's Game 2 victory, the Lightning went 0-of-1 on the power play as Brayden Point and Yanni Gourde led the way in Game 3.
