Sometimes at the beginning of a series you have a slow feeling out period or two. In the case of the Lightning and Islanders, that lasted all of five or so minutes.
Watch as Casey Cizikas absolutely lays out Erik Condra in the corner.
It is a violent looking hit and immediately caused a stir on the ice. The Islanders aren’t going to be content with winning the first round – they are looking to make it all the way. A start like this could go a long, long way.
