The Islanders will try to even the Eastern Conference Final series at two games apiece when they play Game 4 against the Lightning on Sunday afternoon at Rogers Place in Edmonton.
New York avoided falling into a 3-0 series deficit with a 5-3 victory in Game 3 on Friday. Tampa Bay won the first two games of the series, 8-2 and 2-1, respectively.
Anthony Beauvillier, Brock Nelson and Jean-Gabriel Pageau each had a goal and assist, and Josh Bailey had two assists for the Islanders in Game 3. Semyon Varlamov made 34 saves.
The Lightning were without forwards Alex Killorn and Brayden Point in Game 3. Killorn served a one-game suspension for boarding Nelson in Game 2, and Point was out with an undisclosed injury. Point, who is tied with Nikita Kucherov for the Lightning scoring lead in the postseason with eight goals and 23 points, practiced Saturday but remains questionable for Game 4.
