With goalie Ben Bishop pulled in the final minute, the 21-year-old picked up his seventh assist of the playoffs by setting up Nikita Kucherov, who scored his team-leading seventh goal to tie the game at four with 39 seconds remaining.
The game would remain tied through 60 minutes. Tuesday marked the Lightning's first overtime game of the playoffs, while the Islanders won all three games that needed extra time during their first-round series against the Florida Panthers.
