\n As daunting as the 8-2 beatdown they took from the Tampa Bay Lightning in Game 1 Monday night was, the Islanders aren\u2019t letting one loss in the Eastern Conference finals rattle them.<\/p>\n

This is the first time since the playoffs began in August that the Islanders are trailing in a series<\/a>, but by focusing on the fact that a win in Game 2 Wednesday night would even the series 1-1, the Islanders are hoping they can make Monday\u2019s debacle a distant memory.<\/p>\n

\u201cPersonally, I liked our attitude after the game last night,\u201d Mathew Barzal said on a Zoom call Tuesday afternoon. \u201cWe knew it wasn\u2019t acceptable, but at the same time, we know it\u2019s a seven-game series and it\u2019s the first to four.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe get [Wednesday\u2019s] game and it\u2019s a completely different series. That was kind of our immedia<\/a>te reaction.\u201d<\/p>\n

That may be easier said than done, especially the way in which the Islanders lost Game 1. After giving up seven total goals in the four games to the Panthers in the qualifying round, the Islanders allowed eight goals in five games to the Capitals in the first round.<\/p>\n

Monday night, the Islanders were lit up for eight goals in 55 minutes against Tampa Bay.<\/p>\n

Additionally, the Islanders\u2019 penalty kill was coming off a perfect 13-for-13 performance against the Flyers in the second round. The Lightning put a quick end to that, going 3-for-6 on the man-advantage in Game 1 after the Islanders had gone eight straight games without allowing a power-play goal.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat was just an unfortunate performance by our team and being down 1-0 obviously isn\u2019t ideal,\u201d Barzal said. \u201cBut we don\u2019t feel like we\u2019re behind the eight ball just yet.\u201d<\/p>\n

Barry Trotz said it was difficult to analyze the Islanders individually and as a team following the blowout loss, noting that it was a \u201cstrange game.\u201d He acknowledged that the team\u2019s fatigue could have stemmed from the one-day turnaround from Game 7 against the Flyers in Toronto to Game 1 versus the Lightning in Edmonton after a full day of travel<\/a>ing across Canada.<\/p>\n

But Trotz said he expects the Islanders to have a strong response in Game 2, pointing to the team\u2019s resiliency all postseason but also history as well.<\/p>\n

\u201cSomeone gave me a stat today, when the Islanders won their first Cup they did lose a game. It was I think Game 2, they gave up eight goals and they came back and beat the Flyers for their first Cup,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The Lightning\u2019s eight goals Monday night tied two other instances for the most the Islanders ever have allowed in a playoff game. The first was in Game 2 of the 1975 preliminary round against the Rangers, in which the Islanders won the series 2-1 before losing in the semifinals to the Flyers in seven games.<\/p>\n

The most recent was in Game 2 of the 1980 Stanley Cup Finals against the Flyers. After the Islanders had taken a 1-0 series lead in overtime in Game 1, Philadelphia struck back with an 8-3 rout before the Islanders won three of the next four to capture the franchise\u2019s first Cup.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s not a bad historical trend to draw from.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe road [to the Stanley Cup] is not always the same, it is sort of structured with all these twists and turns and adversities and all that,\u201d Trotz said. \u201cYou never know how it changes.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
