Semyon Varlamov was pulled in the first period on Monday after allowing three goals on 16 shots.

Game 5 left the Islanders in a tough spot deciding who to go with between the pipes in Game 6. But in Game 5, New York gave the Lightning ample opportunities, and Tampa Bay delivered, going 3-for-6 with the man advantage. The Islanders had done a good job of limiting the Lightning’s strong power play, as Tampa Bay was just 2-for-9 heading into Monday. Brayden Point extended his goal streak to eight games on the power play early in the third, and Luke Schenn found the back of the net to get it to 8-0, the largest winning margin of victory in Tampa Bay playoff history. The onslaught continued in the second period, where Tampa scored three more goals, twice on the power play, including Stamkos and Killorn each picking up a second goal. Alex Killorn made it 3-0 late in the first, after which Semyon Varlamov was pulled for Ilya Sorokin in the Isles’ net. The Islanders got an idea it wasn’t their night later in the first, when Yanni Gourde’s pass hit Islanders defenseman Andy Greene and trickled into the net to make it 2-0. The Lightning controlled Game 5 from the start, with captain Steven Stamkos scoring 45 seconds into the contest to give Tampa the 1-0 lead.
