It quieted the sellout crowd of 17,255 that had roared during pregame introductions that included Islanders greats Denis Potvin, Clark Gillies, John Tonelli, Butch Goring, Ken Morrow and Bob Nystrom. Matt Martin's backward pass was picked up by Richardson, who skated in and beat Varlamov on the blocker side for his second. Richardson scored for the Flames 4:05 into the game, taking advantage of a turnover by the Islanders in their defensive zone. He scored two goals for the second straight game, and has seven in the last seven games. It was Mangiapane's 14th of the season and seventh on the power play. Mangiapane pushed Calgary's lead to 3-1 with his second power-play goal of the night as he deflected Hanafin's shot past Varlamov at 6:43 of the second. I think they had the pace in the third but we held on and kept our composure." "(Markstrom) was probably our best player there," Richardson said. The Islanders pulled Varlamov for an extra skater with just under 2 minutes remaining, but Lewis scored an empty-netter with 1:15 left and Gaudreau added another with 38 seconds to go. Oliver Wahlstrom had the puck in the left corner and as he moved toward the net, Flames defenseman Tyler Pitlick knocked the puck away but it came to Nelson on the right side and he tapped it past Markstrom. Nelson got his second of the night and team-high ninth of the season to pull the Islanders within a goal, 3-2, at 1:49 of the third period. We were playing for each other and the guys who couldn't be here tonight." "Barry has harped on staying in the moment. "A little bit of adversity for our group," Islanders forward Kyle Palmieri said.
