The New York Islanders were left frustrated on Thursday night, as they watched a solid effort against the NHL's top team come undone in the final 90 seconds in a 4-2 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning.
Tied 2-2 after Josh Bailey's second goal of the night, Tyler Johnson slipped behind the Isles defense, tipping in Nikita Kucherov's cross-ice feed with 1:26 to go. It negated a third-period comeback, Bailey's two-goal night and the fact that the Isles controlled large portions of the contest. The loss also snapped the Islanders seven-game point streak.
