Varlamov, Nelson lead Islanders past Lightning 5-1 | |
TAMPA, Fla. (AP) The New York Islanders showed they have more than just a strong defense. Semyon Varlamov stopped 31 shots, Brock Nelson scored twice in the third period, and the Islanders beat the Tampa Bay Lightning 5-1 on Monday night. "Our offense isn't maybe the focal point of the conversion but we have guys that can score," Nelson said. "I think we have the character that we can win in different ways and we've shown that."
