\n The Islanders pride themselves on being a four-line team and that rang true in their Game<\/a> 3 victory over the Flyers, in which two of their three goals came from the bottom six.<\/p>\n

Through the first two games of the Eastern Conference semifinals series with the Flyers, the Islanders have primarily gotten their scoring from the top two lines and defensemen. The only bottom-six skater to contribute had been Jean-Gabriel Pageau, the Islanders\u2019 trade-deadline acquisition that was meant to add depth down the lineup at center.<\/p>\n

Fourth-line winger Matt Martin notched his third goal of the postseason to pull even with the Flyers 1-1 at 7:12 of the second, standing all alone in front of Flyers\u2019 goaltender Carter Hart and tapp<\/a>ing in a feed from Mathew Barzal. Then, as the final seconds of the middle frame wound down, Leo Komarov got a stick on a pass from Derick Brassard and got it to trickle in past Hart for the Islanders\u2019 first lead of the night.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was huge,\u201d Islanders coach Barry Trotz said of the depth contributions on a Zoom call following Saturday\u2019s 3-1 win. \u201cI think that\u2019s the way we\u2019re built. We\u2019re not probably blessed with a lot of those top-end guys, in terms of the heavy, high offensive guys. But we have a lot of very valuable pieces that can contribute in different ways. You saw that, you got a goal from Martin, you got a goal from Leo [Komarov] and the [Derick] Brassard and Pageau line was very good.\u201d<\/p>\n

Komarov\u2019s late second-period goal was his first this postseason and the second playoff tally of his career. Trotz was unable to contain his smile when asked about Komarov during his postgame presser.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnybody who has Leo, he\u2019s obviously a seasoned pro, but he brings people into the fight,\u201d Trotz said. \u201cHe\u2019s sometimes not the prettiest guy to watch, but he\u2019s a guy who gets his nose dirty all the time. He\u2019s a guy that can help you in a lot of defensive situations, he can play multiple positions and his experience. He\u2019s one of the guys that you always can have fun with on a daily basis.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery team has characters, Leo is a character. Not only that, he\u2019s a good player for us and he\u2019s a good piece.\u201d<\/p>\n

Islanders goaltender Semyon Varlamov said the two unexpected days off between Games 2 and 3, along with practice Friday and a morning skate Saturday, helped him settle his game back down after getting pulled in Game 2.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was an important game for our team, for me especially after Game 2, I know I didn\u2019t play well,\u201d Varlamov said. \u201cIt happens, you know? Nothing goes perfect, especially in the playoffs, there\u2019s a lot of games going on. You lose today, you win tomorrow. So I learned from my mistakes.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n<\/hr>\n

Trotz opted to insert Brassard back into the lineup for the first time in three games, placing him back in his usual third-line role. Ross Johnston was scratched after taking Brassard\u2019s place the last three games.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
