Martin Scores Again, But Islanders Lose

Former Blenheim Blades forward Matt Martin is having the best postseason of his career.

Unfortunately, it hasn’t been enough to push his New York Islanders over the top against the high power Tampa Bay Lightning.

Martin scored his 5th goal of the playoffs Wednesday in a 2-1 loss to the Lightning to fall behind 2-0 in the series.

Martin’s 5 goals in 18 games matches his 5 goals scored across 55 regular season games this season.

The Islanders will look to bounce back in a crucial game 3 Friday at 8:00pm.
