NHL Playoffs: When is Panthers vs. Islanders Game 4?

Here’s when you can watch Game 4 of the Eastern Conference first round playoff series between the Florida Panthers and New York Islanders.

After a thrilling Game 3 that went to overtime, the New York Islanders and Florida Panthers will get some much-needed rest before meeting again.

Thomas Hickey’s game winner just over halfway through the first headline gave New York a 4-3 win in the first-ever playoff game at the Barclays Center on Sunday night. After splitting a pair of games at the BB&T Center, the Islanders will now have a great chance to go up 3-1 in the first round playoff series on home ice.

The teams will get two days off before meeting on Wednesday at 8:00 p.m. Eastern for Game 4. USA Network will have TV coverage, with streaming available on the NBC Sports Live Extra app.

For the third straight game, the Panthers scored a goal within five minutes of the game, but have only been able to maintain their lead in Game 4. Reilly Smith had another terrific contest on Friday, playing a part in all three Florida goals, including scoring for the fourth time in the series.

New York’s offense has been all about John Taveras, who is generating opportunities nearly every time he’s on the ice. While Taveras’ steak of six consecutive games with a goal was snapped, he added two assists on Sunday to up his playoff point total to six.

All three games have featured open end-to-end action with a fast tempo.  Both teams will look to aid their goalies with fewer defensive breakdowns in Game 4.
