The performance of "Lightning" cannot be called a failure, since the team was practically in no way inferior to its opponent. The fight was an equal fight, but John Cooper's wards were a little less fortunate in realizing the chances, which were enough. They managed to throw the only puck just a minute before the end of the meeting.

Islanders

The Islanders, after a poor start in the quarterfinal series against Boston, were still able to pull themselves together, thanks to which they snatched the victory from the Bruins. The team prevailed in three matches in a row, thus beating the opponent in the series with a score of 4:2.

Such a confident game of the Islanders continued in the semifinals, where the team met with Tampa. New York beat Lightning away without any problems (2:1). It is worth praising the excellent actions of goalkeeper Varlamov, who saved 30 shots out of 31. Indeed, the Islanders are not embarrassed by their opponents' meetings on the ice, having only two defeats in seven matches.
