New York— Brian Boyle scored at 2:48 of overtime to lift the Tampa Bay Lightning to a 5-4 victory over the New York Islanders on Tuesday night for a 2-1 lead in their second-round series.

Nikita Kucherov tied it in the final minute of regulation, and Ryan Callahan, Victor Hedman and Vladislav Namestnikov also scored for the Lightning. Ben Bishop stopped 35 shots.

On the winning goal, the Lightning were on an odd-man rush and Hedman fired a shot from the left side that was wide, but the rebound came off the boards and right to Boyle in front at the right side of the goal and he tapped it in for the win.

Josh Bailey, back after missing the first two games of this series with an upper-body injury, had two goals, and Nick Leddy and Cal Clutterbuck also scored for the Islanders. Thomas Greiss finished with 36 saves.

Game 4 of the best-of-seven series is Friday night.

Penguins Defenseman Suspended

New York — The Penguins will be without Kris Letang for Game 4 against Washington after the NHL suspended him one game Tuesday after interfering with Washington’s Marcus Johansson early in Pittsburgh’s 3-2 win over the Capitals on Monday night.

The NHL Department of Player Safety ruled that Letang made “significant head contact” on Johansson well after the Capitals forward had released the puck during a sequence in the first period.

Johansson was carrying the puck into the Pittsburgh zone when he made a pass to the boards as four Penguins converged on him.

Letang drilled Johansson in the upper body well after the puck was gone, Letang’s shoulder making contact with Johansson’s chest and chin.

Flames Fire Coach

Calgary, Alberta — The Calgary Flames fired Bob Hartley on Tuesday, a season after he was voted the NHL’s coach of the year.

Calgary took a big step backward this year after reaching the playoffs last season. The Flames finished 35-40-7, with only Vancouver and Edmonton posting fewer wins in the rugged Western Conference.

Last season, he led the Flames to a 45-30-7 record and third place in the Pacific Division, but there was no sign of that team this season behind Johnny Gaudreau and Marc Giordano. In February, Calgary dealt forward Jiri Hudler to Florida for draft picks and sent winger David Jones to Minnesota for goalie Niklas Backstrom and a sixth-round pick.
