\n The Islanders had gone through the first two games of the conference finals with only one goal from a top-six forward, Jordan Eberle\u2019s Game 1 power play goal standing alone.<\/p>\n

But in a league where, as Tampa Bay coach Jon Cooper often says, \u201cYour best players have to be your best players,\u201d the Islanders needed their best goal-scorers to, well, score goals.<\/p>\n

And so, second-line center Brock Nelson scored the winner at 16:25 of the third period in Friday\u2019s 5-3 Islanders victory over the Lightning in Game 3 on a set-up from Anthony Beauvillier after second-line winger Beauvillier had scored the 3-1 goal in the second period off a nifty feed from Nelson.<\/p>\n

Beauvillier, who recorded 18 goals in 68 games on the season, leads the team with nine playoff goals. Nelson and Jean-Gabriel Pageau, who recorded an empty-netter, each have eight goals in the postseason.<\/p>\n

Cooper had said he would be \u201cmildly shocked\u201d if Alex Killorn were suspended for the late hit from behind that sent Nelson\u2019s face into the glass 5:55 into the first period of Game 2.<\/p>\n

But the Lightning coach was less judgmental and expressive after the winger was indeed set down for one game by the Department of Player Safety for the blow that drew a five-minute major and game misconduct.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s pointless now. What\u2019s done is done,\u201d Cooper said hours before Game 3. \u201cI think there have been a lot of hits that have been similar, and there\u2019s a fine line.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think when you look at any hit, you\u2019re fighting for your guy. But if you were to reverse the roles and say, \u2018Well, what if that were your guy getting hit?\u2019 Then I can see where they\u2019re coming from. So the decision has been made and so it\u2019s pointless for me to comment on how I feel about it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Barry Trotz did not campaign for Killorn\u2019s suspension for the hit that sidelined Nelson for 25 game-time minutes bridging the first two periods, but the Islanders coach believes justice was done in this instance.<\/p>\n

\u201cI thought Killorn would get one [game],\u201d Trotz said. \u201cIt looks very fair.\u201d<\/p>\n

The coach, though, was not exactly thrilled that the league did not take any action whatsoever against Barclay Goodrow for his unpenalized cross check that sent Nelson\u2019s head into the glass again almost immedia<\/a>tely after No. 29\u2019s return to the ice midway through the second period.<\/p>\n

\u201cI knew the league would look at Goodrow, and they look at it frame by frame, so I\u2019m good with whatever they decide. I\u2019m probably a little disapp<\/a>ointed, but at the same time I have a lot of respect for Player Safety and what they look at. They probably looked at that a thousand times.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n<\/hr>\n

Casey Cizikas missed the game with an unidentified injury while Andrew Ladd was a healthy scratch. Derick Brassard and Michael Dal Colle were inserted into the lineup in their place.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had an inclination [Thursday] that Casey might not be available,\u201d Trotz said. \u201cWe\u2019ll see where it is. We have another day here.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
