The New York Islanders won Game 2 against the Boston Bruins 4-3 with Casey Cizikas goal on a breakaway to help even the series as both teams head to the Nassau Coliseum. The recent victory displayed how both teams can control a game and the entire series based on what style of play was on the ice, whether it’s fast-paced, a hard-hitting game, a game with great puck movement, or anything in between.
The momentum swung in Game 2 based on the style of play, and the Islanders have to take note of the adjustments they need to make for the upcoming games. Likewise, they need to continue to enforce certain aspects of their game against a Bruins team that has looked like a better team at times but has shown clear weaknesses.
Here's a breakdown of the schedule:
Game 2 - in Boston - Monday, May 31 - 7:30 p.m. Game 3 - in New York - Thursday, June 3 - 7:30 p.m. Game 4 - in New York - Saturday, June 5 - 7:15 p.m. Game 5 - in Boston - Monday, June 7 - TBD (If Necessary) Game 6 - in New York - Wednesday, June 9 - TBD (If Necessary) Game 7 - in Boston - Friday, June 11 - TBD (If Necessary)
