"Live to see another day," Islanders forward Anders Lee said. "Fun to get in here and get back to work in a couple days."

Barzal redirected Robert Bortuzzo's shot from the blue line for his second goal of the game.

"Great shot by Bobby (Bortuzzo)," Barzal said. "Just find a lane and throw it in an area where there's some bodies. Lucky bounce."

Lightning 6, Panthers 3

Tampa Bay's Steven Stamkos and Brandon Hagel each scored twice as the Lightning stayed alive in Game 4.

The win cut the Lightning's deficit to 3-1. Game 5 is Monday night in Sunrise, Florida.

Returning from a broken leg, Tampa Bay defenseman Mikhail Sergachev recorded an assist in his first game since Feb. 7.

"When you get one of the best defensemen in the league back in your lineup, it gives you a little bit of a jump, and it did that tonight," Hagel said. "Kudos to him for playing tremendous."

Bruins 3, Maple Leafs 1

Jeremy Swayman started back-to-back games for the first time in more than two months and made 25 saves to help the Boston Bruins take a commanding 3-1 series lead against the Toronto Maple Leafs.
