Andrei Vasilevskiy made 23 saves and Victor Hedman and Alex Killorn scored second-period goals to lead the Lightning to a 4-1 victory over the Islanders on Sunday. Isles
Nelson gave the Islanders a 1-0 lead late in the first period with his career-high 31st goal. The score came with 1:46 left in the period and was the culmination of a sequence which began when Adam Pelech flipped a lob pass out of New York's defensive zone to Nelson, who raced down the right side before beating Vasilevskiy high to the glove side.
Killorn gave Tampa Bay the lead for good 8:37 later, finishing an odd-man rush with his 20th of the season. The game marked the first time Sorokin and Vasilevskiy had started against each other in their NHL careers, although Sorokin did play against Vasilevskiy twice during last spring's Eastern Conference final. For two periods, the showdown between star goaltenders lived up to expectations, but in an odd twist, Varlamov replaced Sorokin at the start of the third period.
