With the victory of Barry Trotz’s troop, this Stanley Cup semi-final series is now equal to 2 to 2.

Here is a little summary of the meeting.

First, in the first period, the Tampa Bay Lightning came out strong. Indeed, the latter has been the best team on the ice during this period, dominating the Islanders in shots on goal by a score of 11-4. However, none of those shots materialized in goals. while the two teams returned to the locker room tied 0-0.

In the second period, the wind changed sides completely as the New York team led the Lightning in shots on goal by 17-9. However, unlike Tampa Bay, the Islanders had knew how to convert these shots into goals. Indeed, they scored three goals during this period.

Josh Bailey first opened the scoring with a superb shot.

Subsequently, it was none other than Matthew Barzal who made it 2-0 in favor of New York taking a throw-back from Cal Clutterbuck.

In the end, it was Matt Martin who scored his team’s third unanswered goal before the end of the engagement. Jon Cooper contested the goal believing it to be offside, however to no avail.

Delayed by three goals at the start of the third period, the Lightning began their comeback.

It was first of all Brayden Point, the top scorer of the playoffs, who put on his 12th. With this goal, he extends his streak of games with at least one goal to seven.

Point is now the third-highest scorer in Lightning history in the playoffs. Plus, his seven-game scoring streak is the second-best streak in NHL history.

Tampa Bay later closed the lead to one goal through Tyler Johnson.

With more than a single goal behind and a few minutes to go in the game, the Lightning retired their goaltender in favor of a sixth skater. However, Victor Hedman ended up in the dungeon for tripping Cal Clutterbuck (instead he fell on his own and the refs fell into the trap). So the Lightning attempted one final attack by pulling Vasilevskiy out again. With five seconds left in the game, Ryan McDonagh found himself alone in front of Semyon Varlamov, and attempted a masterful feint that beat Varlamov, but not Ryan Pulock. Indeed, the defenseman of the Islanders went there with a sensational save which allowed his team to tie in the series.

Game 5 of this series takes place on Monday as both teams return to Tampa Bay.
