Brayden Point scored the first to give the Lightning a 1-0 lead at 8:58 of the first period.New York defenseman Adam Pelech's errant pass from behind the net intended for Anthony Beauvillier was intercepted by Tampa Bay defenseman David Savard at the right point. Within seconds, Barclay Goodrow passed to Rutta for a slap shot from the right point that beat goalie Semyon Varlamov into the top left corner of the net."We've got to execute a little bit better and then you've got to battle that out," Islanders coach Barry Trotz said.
