Pacioretty sets Habs record with 10th OT goal

Brock Nelson broke a tie with 3:25 left, Semyon Varlamov made 34 saves and the New York Islanders beat the Tampa Bay Lightning 5-3 in Game 3 of the NHL's Eastern Conference final on Friday night. The Islanders rebounded from a stunning finish to Game 2 to trim their deficit to 2-1 in the best-of-seven matchup, but it wasn't easy. Tampa Bay wiped out a two-goal deficit in the first 13 minutes of the final period before Nelson, who also had an assist, beat goaltender Andrei Vasilevskiy off a pass from Anthony Beauvillier.

New York Islanders star Mathew Barzal felled Lightning defenseman Jan Rutta with a cross-check to the face in Tampa Bay’s blowout victory in Game 5.
