Islanders fall to Penguins in crucial Game 3 as rally falls short
NY Post
In all three games this series, the Islanders trailed the Penguins heading into the final 20 minutes. The deficit was two goals this time around, the largest the Islanders had faced.
Despite two mediocre periods, the Islanders kept their heads in it and potted three goals in the final frame, tying the game up twice. But Penguins fourth-line winger Brandon Tanev had the last word, batting the puck out of midair with roughly 3 ½ minutes left in regulation to hand the Islanders a 5-4 loss in Game 3 at Nassau Coliseum. The Penguins have a 2-1 series lead.More Related News
