in the period. Okposos wrist shot just seconds before the horn sent the game
into the third tied at 3-3. Tavares sealed the Islanders win later in the
period. Bergerons power-play goal with 7:27 left in the second gave Boston a 2-1

was the 10th goal of the season for both Boston veterans. Nielsen tied it with a
power-play goal 5:56 into the second on a one-timer from the top of the right
circle off a crossing pass from Tavares. The goal came just 24 seconds after

into the game for his 100th NHL goal on a rebound off a shot by Jarome Iginla.
