Scott Laughton Authentic Jersey goal

"This was a strange game in my opinion. The first two shots go in. We got the start we wanted, we played exceptionally well, we were pressing.
When they score on their first two shots, that puts you behind the
eight ball, and when you haven't won a lot, you're concerned about how
the team will respond, and we responded real well. We came back, we
pressed and pushed, and then it got away from us a little bit later in
the game. The [fifth and sixth goals] that we gave up, we're gambling a
little bit. We have to at that point in the game.""Man, playing with
[Radulov] and [Benn] is a Sean Couturier Authentic Jersey great experience. Every time we got a chance to play with those guys we
just ramp up the intensity, play simple, and go to the net and good
things happen, and that happened tonight."Stars defenseman Marc Methot
(lower body) missed his fourth straight game. ... Dallas made an in-game
goalie change for the third time this season. ... Stars center Martin
Hanzal sustained an upper-body injury late in the third period.
Hitchcock said he hopes Hanzal can practice Monday.
Yanni Gourde had two goals and Ondrej Palat also scored for the
Lightning (15-3-2), who had won five in a row. Andrei Vasilevskiy made
27 saves but lost his first game in regulation since Oct. 7.

"It's great, it was a great Shayne Gostisbehere Authentic Jersey test for our team," Islanders coach Doug Weight said. "It was huge to
get on the board quick, get that confidence in a place like this. We
just executed how we wanted to play."Ladd opened the scoring 51 seconds
into the game when he beat Vasilevskiy with a shot to the far side.

"First two periods, I thought we did a good job and we were able to get
the pucks deep," Ladd said. "They are a talented offensive team, so we
wanted to play as much as we could on our end of the ice."

Lee scored his 10th goal of the season at 10:25 of the first period to
give the Islanders a 2-0 lead. Tavares set it up with a behind-the-back
feed.

Nelson made it 3-0 lead at 7:09 of the second period with a shot that
beat Vasilevskiy on the glove side.

"This is a good win against a Steve Mason Authentic Jersey tough team to beat in any building, especially at home," Bailey said.
"We'll definitely this take one. Obviously they pushed late, but we got
it done."

Lee's second goal was scored on the power play at 1:05 of the third
period. Bailey set Lee up in front of the net, where he scored on the
rebound of his own shot to make it 4-0.

"[The Lightning] are in the position that they are in, so we knew we had
to come in here and work and play a good 60 minutes," Lee said.
"Although we had a couple of letdowns, I thought we really put together a
good game."The Lightning tried to rally with two goals in 13 seconds.
Gourde made it 4-1 when he beat Greiss with a tip-in off a shot from
Brayden Point at 3:13 of the third period.

"There were a lot of bouncing pucks ... but if you work hard, you are
going to get the right bounce at the right time," Gourde said. "The
third period is proof of that; we were working hard, working the right
way and we got the puck bouncing our way."

Palat then scored his Travis Konecny Authentic Jersey fifth goal of the season to at 3:26 with a high shot from outside the
right circle.

"Our game got better as the game went on, but it was too late," Palat
said. "It was a lot of bounces and pucks that didn't go our way, but you
can sit here and the last 15 games, I think the puck went our way."

Gourde scored his second goal at 16:24 of the third period to pull the
Lightning within 4-3.

But Tavares sealed the win for the Islanders with an empty-net goal with
21.9 seconds remaining.

"We were off, it just felt off," Lightning coach Jon Cooper said. "But
we didn't start well and you have to give the Islanders a little credit.
They came in here to win a hockey game."
