Alex Killorn and Steven Stamkos both netted two goals and an assist and goalie Andrei Vasilevskiy collected the shutout to lead the host Tampa Bay Lightning to a 8-0 whitewashing of the New York Islanders on Monday that puts them one win away from advancing to the Stanley Cup Final.
Tampa Bay has a 3-2 lead in the best-of-seven semifinal series and will look to close it out Wednesday in Uniondale, N.Y.
Yanni Gourde, Ondrej Palat, Brayden Point and Luke Schenn also scored for the defending champions, who set a franchise playoff record for goals differential. Vasilevskiy made 21 saves for his third shutout of this year’s playoffs.
