The New York Islanders could not continue their winning ways on Saturday as they fell in defeat to the Boston Bruins by a final of 3-1.
- New York Islanders 1 (37-21-8, 82 pts)
- Boston Bruins 3 (39-23-8, 86 pts)
- NHL, Eastern Conference, Final, Box Score
- TD Garden, Boston, MA
The one highlight on Saturday for the New York Islanders came in the form of the captain.
John Tavares scored at 10:48 of the second period against the Bruins in Boston today, but it wasn’t just a normal goal. This tally was the captain’s 200th goal of his young NHL career.
Although the Tavares goal knotted the game up at 1-1, the Bruins’ David Pastrnak put home his 11th of the season with just nine seconds to go in the second period to provide his team with a lead they would not relinquish.
Pastrnak added on another in the third for comfort.
