Vasilevskiy got his blocker on a Bo Horvat<\/a>\u00a0breakaway attempt at 11:14.<\/p>\n

Hagel extended it to 2-0 at 15:42. Victor Hedman<\/a>\u00a0floated the puck through the neutral zone to Hagel, who cut right to left across the crease before he beat Sorokin high blocker side.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt wasn’t our best period, but at the end of the day, we learned, and we adapted our game style,\u201d Islanders defenseman Matthew Schaefer said. \u201cThey came out a little hot, and then I think our back half was definitely a lot better than our start. But we’re going to get better. We’re going to have a better start hopefully next time and keep it going throughout the game.\u201d<\/p>\n

DeAngelo cut it to 2-1 at 6:27 of the second period. With Pageau screening Vasilevskiy, DeAngelo scored glove side from the point.<\/p>\n

Guentzel\u2019s power-play goal made it 3-1 at 7:54. Nikita Kucherov<\/a>, stationed in the right dot, found\u00a0Guentzel all alone in front.<\/p>\n

Pageau cut it to 3-2 at 11:41 on a deflection of Schaefer’s shot near the blue line.<\/p>\n

Schenn tied it 3-3 on the power play at 19:53 after his redirection from the low slot banked off the stick of Tampa Bay defenseman Erik Cernak<\/a> and passed Vasilevskiy\u2019s right pad. Schaefer\u2019s one-timer from the high slot was blocked, but Matias Maccelli<\/a>\u00a0jumped on the loose puck and fed\u00a0Horvat deep in the right circle before he found Schenn in front with a slap pass.<\/p>\n

\u201cLook, they’re a stingy team,\u201d Guentzel said. \u201cI think they’re a stingy defensive team, and they have some gifted offensive players, so you’ve got to be ready for that. Schaefer is a generational player, and he’s up in the ice a lot. So you’ve got to make sure you don\u2019t waver.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Vasilevskiy got his blocker on a Bo Horvat\u00a0breakaway attempt at 11:14.
