"They had their chances; we had chances," St. Louis said. "Both goalies played well. It could have gone either way."

Thanks to Poulin and Nielsen, the Islanders left with the extra point.

"In all seriousness, I thought we played pretty well tonight," Lightning coach Jon Cooper said. "We gave up one goal and we should get a point out of that, if not win the game. We got one point, we didn't get two. That's the tough part. But we battled. We played hard; we had every chance to win the game, we just didn't. We played a solid defensive game, the puck just didn't go in for us tonight. It was an even game."
