Islanders take 3-1 series lead with 3-2 win over Flyers

The Associated Press

Brock Nelson is sure glad the New York Islanders acquired Jean-Gabriel Pageau at the NHL trade deadline in February. Islanders coach Barry Trotz wasn't sure what the score would have been if not for backup goalie Thomas Greiss' performance in his first start in nearly six months. Pageau scored the go-ahead goal 7:18 into the third period, and Greiss stopped 36 shots - including a whopping 16 in the second period - to push the Islanders within a win of advancing to the Eastern Conference finals following a 3-2 victory over the Philadelphia Flyers on Sunday night.
