Boston Bruins: Media Notes
TONIGHT’S GAME - The Bruins host the Islanders tonight in game 2 of their best-of-7 Round Two series with the Bruins leading the series, 1 game to none. - This is the 5th Round Two series for Boston since the NHL adopted the format in 2013-14 and they are 1-3 in those series ... Overall, they are playing their 34th 2nd round series (quarterfinals, division finals, conference semifinals and round two series) with an 18-15 record entering this post-season ... They are 16-13 in those series which have been best-of-7 formats. - The Bruins have a 38-18 record all-time in game 2s of best-of-7 series when they have won the 1st game and are 32-23 in game 2s of series in which they won the 1st game.
MILESTONES APPROACHING - Tuukka Rask is playing his 100th NHL playoff game tonight. - Brad Marchand is one point shy of his 100th NHL playoff point. - Bruce Cassidy's next win will move him past Art Ross (32) for second on the team’s all-time coaching playoff wins list.
INJURIES - Kevan Miller - undisclosed - Ondrej Kase - upper body - Jakub Zboril - upper body - John Moore - hip surgery
BOSTON vs NY ISLANDERS, LIFETIME SERIES - The Bruins and Islanders have played 2 lifetime playoff series with NYI winning both ... They have played 12 games with NYI holding both an 8-4 Boston Bruins: Media Notes advantage and 51-40 goals for/against edge. - Their previous series was the 1983 Prince of Wales Conference Championship series which NYI won 4-2. - Their 1st series was the 1980 Quarterfinal series, won by NYI, 4-1. - FYI: NYI’s Mike Bossy was the 1st player in NHL history to have scored all 4 of his team’s game-winning goals in one playoff series, doing so in the 1983 Conference Championship series ... The Islanders won the Stanley Cup in each of the years they faced the Bruins in the post-season ... These teams combined for 248 PIM (124 each) in the 1st period of gm 2 of their 1980 SF series on 4/17/1980, which remains an NHL record for PIMs by both teams in 1 playoff period.
New York Islanders: Media Notes
LAST TIME OUT: Second Round, Game #1 - BOS 5 vs. NYI 2 RECAP: The Islanders opened the scoring and were tied 2-2 through 40 minutes in Game 1, but the Bruins scored three third period goals to take the first game of the series Saturday night at TD Garden. Anthony Beauvillier scored a goal in the third straight game and Ilya Sorokin made 35 saves in the first loss of his NHL postseason career. NYI PP: 1/3 NYI PK: 0/2
TEAM PLAYOFF NOTES: - The Islanders advanced to the Second Round for the third straight season for the first time since 1979-1984 (five straight). They are one of only three teams in the NHL to advance to the Second Round in each of the last three seasons. - The Islanders are 21-16 in playoff games under Head Coach Barry Trotz with five series wins - The Islanders have played 37 playoff games under Trotz – only BOS (43), DAL (40), and STL (39) have played more in that span.

The Islanders are 8-4 all-time against Boston in the postseason, including 4-3 on the road, with two series wins. HC BARRY TROTZ: Head Coach Barry Trotz has advanced to the second round in seven straight seasons (four with WSH and three with NYI). He is the first head coach in NHL history to do so since 1978-85 (Al Arbour with NYI). OVERTIME: The Islanders are 2-0 in overtime this postseason and 38-21 (.644) all-time, second-best in NHL history HITS: The Islanders lead the league in hits (322) through seven postseason games. They recorded 72 hits in Game 1, the 7th-highest total of any team New York Islanders:
Winning this one is paramount, can’t go off to the Isles home madhouse tied 1-1. Please no more too many men on the ice calls against, gives us old timers nightmares 
.
never walk away with unresolved anger, life is short and you never know if this time is the last time.
