Calling it 'physical' would be an understatement. As Game 2 showed, the Bruins and Islanders are engaged in a heavyweight slugfest — two formidable teams going head-to-head in what's shaping up to be a test of survival. (imacSportsnet)

You’d think after waiting six years for a playoff goal — and two months since his last regular-season goal — Cizikas would have a lot to say about outskating Lauzon and whizzing a wrist shot over goalie Tuukka Rask’s right shoulder.

Upon further prodding, the 30-year-old career Islander admitted of his scoring drought: “You definitely think about it. You want to contribute, you want to score goals. But at the end of the day, that’s not our line’s goal. We want to create havoc out there, we want to create momentum for the lineup.”“This is sort of a character win for us, and there’s no one that has bigger character in the dressing room,” Trotz said of Cizikas.

Asked Monday morning about Barzal’s surprising struggle, Trotz offered a 95-second oral dissertation on how top players succeed in the playoffs.
