There is a dwindling handful of NHL players who continue to play with protective helmet visors.

The two Stadium Series games at MetLife Stadium this weekend increase the NHL’s total of outdoor games to 41.

Hall of Famer Clark Gillies, a stalwart on the New York Islanders’ dynasty that won four straight Stanley Cup championships in the early 1980s, has died.

Matt Martin capped New York’s three-goal second period, Ryan Pulock made a diving stop in front of an open goal in the closing seconds and the Islanders held on to beat the Tampa Bay Lightning 3-2 to even their Stanley Cup semifinal series at two games apiece.

Experience is an invaluable ally in the Stanley Cup playoffs.

Mathew Barzal broke a tie late in the third period and the New York Islanders beat the Boston Bruins 4-1 on Saturday night to even the second-round playoff series at two games apiece.

The Boston Bruins feel like they're playing themselves in a way against the New York Islanders in the second round.
