NHL Playoffs: What channel is Panthers vs. Islanders Game 6 on?

Here’s where you can watch Game 6 of the Eastern Conference first round playoffs between the New York Islanders and Florida Panthers.

The New York Islanders pushed the Florida Panthers to the brink of elimination with a dramatic double-overtime win in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference first round playoffs on Thursday night. Now, New York will try to advance to the Conference Semifinals in Game 6 on Sunday at the Barclays Center.

Puck drop is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. Eastern on Sunday night. NBC Sports Network will carry TV coverage for the game, with regional broadcasts also available on MSG+ and Fox Sports Sun.

Alex Quine, who entered the postseason with two career games played, whistled a shot past Roberto Luongo at the 16:00 mark of double overtime for the 2-1 win at the BB&T Center. Thomas Greiss was the hero of the night with 47 saves, including on an Aleksander Barkov penalty shot in the first overtime. Frans Nielsen added his third goal of the series and continued his strong defensive play against Jaromir Jagr.

Even in a losing effort, the Panthers dominated the run of play, as they have for much of the season. However, they could not get past Greiss other than Barkov’s goal in the third, as the Islanders managed to slow down the red-hot Reilly Smith.

The Islanders made a few lineup changes prior to the game, which paid off. However, they will need to be better in front of Greiss in order to ensure a series victory. John Tavares has been the best player overall in the series with seven points.

Florida could use some production from Jagr, who has just two assists in the series and astonishingly hasn’t scored in 36 straight playoff games.
