New York bounced back from two tough overtime losses and defeated the Flyers 4-0 in Game 7 of the second-round series of the Eastern Conference playoffs. Thomas Greiss stopped all 16 shots that came his way and now the Islanders go up against Tampa Bay, which could be rusty after not having played since last Monday. Coach Barry Trotz has done an amazing job since coming over from the Capitals, which won a Stanley Cup his final season there. Greiss picked up the Islanders' final two wins in the Philadelphia series and he has a 1.08 goals-against average in three postseason games. New York has won nine of its last 11 games and and the Islanders are 18-8 versus Atlantic Division teams. Instead of being a tired squad, New York can ride the momentum of Saturday's win into this series. Take the Islanders on the puckline as my Max Play.
