There is a lot of hard work that goes into winning a playoff series, but of you were to look at it as a simple template, it would all begin with getting a split on the road in the opening two games. Every team that has to play the extra game away from home starts the series with that mindset, knowing that getting the split will shift home ice advantage in their favor. The New York Islanders dealt a body blow to the Tampa Bay Lightning by going into Florida and getting that all important win on the road. It all means nothing, though, if they cannot hold serve in their own building, which makes Games 3 and 4 in this series totally crucial. If the Islanders win both, they will have a stranglehold, but a single win by the Lightning will be enough for them to steal home ice advantage right back. This series hangs in the balance right now, and you can wager on it at our MyBookie.ag pro hockey online betting portal.
