Brock Nelson scored twice in the second period and the New York Islanders eliminated the Boston Bruins in a 6-2 Game 6 win to draw an Eastern Conference finals rematch with the reigning champion Tampa Bay Lightning.
The Islanders now will make their first back-to-back trips to the conference finals since the dynasty years of 1980-83, the four straight Cup championships won by Al Arbour’s Isles, one of the greatest NHL teams of all time.
