Islanders stun Pens 3-2 in double OT, take 3-2 series lead

Associated Press  

PITTSBURGH — The New York Islanders spent the better part of four periods hanging on thanks largely to the sheer brilliance of rookie goaltender Ilya Sorokin. Jarry’s ill-advised clearing attempt early in the second overtime went right to New York forward Josh Bailey, who raced in to score the winner and give the Islanders a 3-2 victory in Game 5 and a 3-2 lead in the best-of-seven series. “We don’t have a chance if he doesn’t have an outstanding game in the first two periods, either.” Sorokin stopped 48 shots, a franchise playoff record for a rookie goaltender, and appears to have New York’s goalie situation settled for however long the Islanders last. He’ll continue to be a good goalie for us going forward.” REGULATION DOMINATION The swagger Pittsburgh lacked during a listless performance on Long Island in Game 4 returned back home at half-capacity PPG Paints Arena. The Penguins outshot New York 20-4 in the second period alone, taking the lead 7:37 into the period on Rust’s long shot from outside the right circle.
