Brown and Ryan Callahan scored 42 seconds apart in the first period and the Lightning beat the New York Islanders 4-0 on Monday night.We get two points, thats most important, Vasilevskiy said, and the shutout is a little bounce.The goalie said he expected the Islanders to press in the third after being outshot 17-4 in the second.Usually when a team plays not that good (in the second period), they make a push in the third, Vasilevskiy said.
