It was almost a different kind of heartbreak for the Islanders. Instead, they are back in this Eastern Conference final series against the Tampa Bay Lightning.
They could not hold a two-goal lead in the third period but responded with two goals after the Lightning tied it, winning Friday night's Game 3, 5-3, at Rogers Place in Edmonton to pull within 2-1 in the series.
Brock Nelson scored the winner from the right circle at 16:35 of the third period off Anthony Beauvillier's feed after Lightning defenseman Ryan McDonagh turned the puck over in his zone.
