Tampa Bay Lightning - New York Islanders

Stadium: Amali Arena (Tampa)

The New York Islanders lead the playoffs 0-1

Tampa Bay Lighting - New York Islanders 1-2

Tampa Bay Lighting (Position 3rd Div.N.29-NP.7-US.3-H.17 Term.181-147)

In a balanced game they lost 1-2 and now they have to win this match, so as not to be pre-surprised. Throughout the game it was a good but quite cautious match from both (2) teams was found to lose 0-2 and the only thing he managed was to reduce it with 1-2 at 19:06 with Point B. (E.) who makes good appearances in the playoffs. Gaborik M. (E.) and Nilsson A. (T.) are absent again.

New York Islanders (Position 4th Div.N.24-NP.7-US.8-H.17 Term.156-128)

He did what he did in both (2) previous rounds. He had set as a goal one (1) victory in the first two (2) matches he would play away. He managed it with the 1st and now he reversed the home advantage. They show after many years that they want to be in a final and they prove it on the field. They kept the match in balance, they did not get away and with the first opportunity they scored two (1) times with Barzal M. (E.) at 2:12` of the 32nd period and Pulock R. (A.) at 2:05` of the 36rd period. Tonight they will not have Dal Colle M. again (E.3 assists / 21 goals / 6 assists), Lee A. (E.3 assists / 27 goals / 12 assists) and Wahlstrom O. (E.7 assists / 49 goals / 13 assists). 

The "Lightning" do not want to become 0-2 and chase so early to reverse one (1) situation in away games. The "Islanders" did their duty and may be more relaxed. I do not think the hosts will make a third (3rd) consecutive defeat, with the same opponent. Ace at a nice price.
