Through two games of the series against the Boston Bruins, it’s all tied up at one heading back to the Nassau Coliseum. In Game 1, the Islanders let Boston’s dominant top line take over late in the game.
Before Game 2, the Isles made the switch back to Semyon Varlamov who was very good and will likely start again in Game 3. Also, we’ll have to get into a deep dive on Anthony Beauvillier.
For some reason, he continues to be a different guy in the playoffs and the Isles are riding that line through eight games so far. Here is what you can expect from episode 198:
