Trailing 3-0, Pageau got the Islanders' on the board with 2:10 left in the second. The turning point came when Blues forward Pavel Buchenivch was called for double-minor high-sticking penalty early in the third period. Ritchie scored on the power play at 5:52 of the third and Horvat scored a power-play goal minute later to tie it at 3-all.
Thirty seconds in, Cole Caufield scored on a breakaway. A bit later, Alex Ovechkin notched no. 23 (aka no. 920) by waiting near the goal mouth. The tie lasted less than a minute, when Caufield scored again. The Habs extended their lead in the second with goals from Mike Matheson, beating Lindgren glove-side after a power play, and Kirby Dach, on a counterattack rush.
