2021 nhl playoffs

Brad Marchand’s goal at 3:36 of overtime Wednesday night at Nassau Coliseum gave the Bruins a 2-1 Game 3 win over the Islanders.

So a changing of the postseason guard in the East, where the Penguins and Caps both failed to reach the second round for the third straight year. That had not happened since 2004 through 2007....

The Islanders, who scored a 5-3 series-clinching victory over the Penguins, are built to make long runs in the playoffs.

The Islanders eliminated the Pittsburgh Penguins, 5-3, in Game 6 of their first-round series on Wednesday night.
