"It was a hard-fought game, " Pittsburgh coach Mike Sullivan said. "It wasn't perfect out there by any stretch, but I thought we played hard. "Tom Kuhnhackl, who had a goal in the opening minute of the game waved off for offside, nearly won it for the Islanders 1:12 into the extra period as he crashed into Murray and the puck crossed the goal line — but not before the net came loose. The no-goal was confirmed after a review. The Islanders led three times in regulation with the Penguins managing to tie it each time.
"Malkin tied it 2-2 on a power play with 6:19 left in the middle period as his shot from the inside edge of the right circle deflected off Islander defenseman Adam Pelech's stick and up past Lehner. The raucous crowd that was chanting "Let's Go Islanders! " from before the teams came out for pregame warmups, roared when the Islanders stepped on the ice and booed loudly when the Penguins followed. They got loud again in the minutes before the teams emerged from their dressing rooms for the start of the game. Pittsburgh outshot New York 17-12 in the first period, but the Islanders led 2-1 after 20 minutes. Just more than a minute after Kuhnhackl's opening-minute goal was overturned, Eberle did give the Islanders the lead as he stopped a deflection of Pelech's shot, turned and beat Murray through the five-hole from the right side for his first career postseason goal at 1:40. The Penguins tied it when Dominik Simon brought the puck down the middle and dropped a pass back to Kessel, who put it past Lehner off the post and in at 5:42.

"I wasn't sure. It didn't lay very flat for me. I was just trying to whack it and hope it went in.... A crucial game. There's still a long way to go, but a good win for us. "Barzal had brought the puck into the offensive zone on a 2-on-1 break, faked in front to draw Matt Murray out and sent the backhand shot that bounced off the left post. He was initially upset with himself at missing the opportunity before he saw Bailey come up and put it in. "I see the puck laying there and I was just obviously (angry), I thought the chance had ended, " Barzal said. "And I see Bails come in and swoop in and bury it. I was obviously super happy to see that.
With Murray pulled for an extra skater, Schultz fired a one-timer from the left circle inside the left post with 1:29 left. Bailey had a chance at the winner for the Islanders in the closing seconds, but his shot hit the right post. He was glad it didn't end up being a costly miss. "I was afraid I was going to have to see that in my nightmares for a while, " Bailey said. "Yeah, a little bit of redemption. Just happy to get the win.
