The Islanders made history in the 2022-23 NHL playoffs with a wild scoring blitz in Game 3 against the Carolina Hurricanes (Sportsnaut). The game started off slow, but the Islanders rallied with four goals in a 2:18 span – the fastest four goals in Stanley Cup playoff history – and secured a historic outburst in the third period with a 5-1 victory (USA Today).
Kyle Palmieri and Matt Martin emerged as heroes in the game, scoring in a 44-second span late in the period to secure the Islanders’ win (The Rink Live). The team’s hard work and perseverance paid off, as they clawed back into the series with a crucial Game 3 victory (New York Post).
The Islanders’ strong performance didn’t come without controversy, however. In their previous game against the Hurricanes, they lost due to a high-stick penalty that wasn’t called (USA Today). This led to multiple fights and a prediction from Martin that the series would “get nastier” (New York Post).
Despite the drama, the Islanders remained focused and were rewarded for their efforts (The Hockey News). They showed resilience and determination, demonstrating that they are a force to be reckoned with in the playoffs. Islanders fans can look forward to what the rest of the series has in store as they continue to fight for victory (VAVEL.com).
