Teams that take a 3-1 lead are 69-1 winning a best-of-7 NHL semifinal series.
Beauvillier has gone eight consecutive games without a goal and has not scored a point in the past four, and Bailey has not scored a goal in four straight.
“Space is tough out there and tough to generate chances.
“I don’t know if there’s one big reason, but I think we do play a simpler game on the road,” Tampa Bay forward Barclay Goodrow said.
Point gave Tampa Bay a 2-1 lead in Game 3 with 20 seconds left in the second period, two seconds after a power play expired following an interference penalty on Islanders defenseman Adam Pelech.
If you look at the goal that Point did score, really technically, it’s almost a power-play goal because really Pelech just got on the ice and had no effect on the play, just a second or two right after it did finish.
Wahlstrom, a forward, could play for the first time since sustaining a lower-body injury in Game 5 of the first round against the Pittsburgh Penguins on May 24.
