The preliminary decision in Game 6 in New York fell in the second period, when the Islanders were able to pull away with three goals between the 26th and 37th minute to 4-1. When Boston threw everything forward in the closing stages and acted without a goalie, Cal Clutterbuck and Ryan Pulock hit the empty goal within eleven seconds.
Now, as in the previous year, the team of trainer Barry Jetzt will face a duel with defending champion Tampa Bay Lightning in the semifinals. For their part, the Islanders have been waiting to win the Stanley Cup since 1983. At the beginning of the 1980s, the club won the prestigious trophy four times in a row.
The Colorado Avalanche and the Vegas Golden Knights are still fighting for the last open semifinal place in the West Division. After five games, the Las Vegas team leads 3-2. The Montreal Canadiens are waiting for the winner in the semifinals.
