NHL Playoffs: What channel is Lightning vs. Islanders Game 4 on?

Here’s where to catch Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals between the Tampa Bay Lightning and New York Islanders online.

Following a thrilling Game 3, the Tampa Bay Lightning and New York Islanders will meet again on Friday night at the Barclays Center for Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

Puck drop on Friday is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. Eastern. TV coverage for Game 4 will be provided by NBC Sports Network, while live streaming will be available on the NBC Sports Live Extra app.

After a split in Tampa Bay, the Lightning went up 2-1 in the best-of-seven series with a 5-4 overtime Game 3 win on Tuesday night. Nikita Kucherov scored his seventh goal of the postseason with 40 seconds left before Brian Boyle’s tally shortly into overtime gave Tampa Bay the critical Game 3 win. Victor Hedman has been playing his best hockey after an unproductive First Round with goals in consecutive games.

Islanders star John Tavares has been shutout in consecutive games after totaling 11 points through his first seven playoff games. The good news for New York is it was finally able to find offense from a few other sources, as the fourth line of Cal Clutterbuck-Matt Martin- Casey Cizikas turned in a terrific outing. Josh Bailey also scored twice in his return from an upper-body injury.

Things got physical in Game 3, including a massive hit from Thomas Hickey which knocked Jonathan Drouin out for an extended period. Boyle later responded with a huge hit on Hickey just before his game-winner.

While both Ben Bishop and Thomas Greiss were a little shaky in goal in Game 3, they need some help from their teams in front of them, as defensive miscues piled up on Tuesday.
