TAMPA, Fla. -- Tyler Johnson continues to have postseason success.
Johnson had two goals and an assist and the Tampa Bay Lightning beat the New York Islanders 4-1 on Saturday to even the second-round series at a game apiece.
"That's one game," Johnson said. "We need three more."
Johnson has six career playoff multi-goal games, including two this season. The 5-foot-8 center scored an NHL-leading 13 goals in helping the Lightning reach the Stanley Cup final last season.
Lightning goalie Ben Bishop rebounded after being pulled in the second period of Game 1 to make 19 saves. He gave up four goals on 13 shots Wednesday night in a 5-3 loss.
"Game 1, a couple of unlucky bounces there," Bishop said. "You just come back the same way in Game 2. You don't change anything. That's just kind of been the way I do it."
Jonathan Drouin and Victor Hedman each had a goal and an assist for Tampa Bay.
"This was one we absolutely needed," Tampa Bay Coach Jon Cooper said. "They came down here probably saying, 'Hey, if we can split it's all good for us,' and we're probably a little disappointed that we split. But if you look at us after losing Game 1, we're sitting there saying, 'We have to have Game 2,' and we got it."
Nikolay Kulemin scored for the Islanders, and Thomas Greiss 27 stopped shots.
"I thought it was closer than it indicated," Islanders Coach Jack Capuano said of the final score. "We've just got to bounce back. Guys have got to play a little better."
Game 3 is Tuesday night in Brooklyn.
"It's always disappointing when you do get the first one and that you can't go out and do it again," Islanders center Frans Nielsen said. "But going here, I think we would have taken it coming home 1-1."
After Islanders teammates Cal Clutterbuck and Nick Leddy collided at the Tampa Bay blue line, the Lightning got an odd-man rush that resulted in Johnson's backhander that opened the scoring 6:03 into the game.
"It gets the confidence going," Johnson said. "We were trying to get that first goal. We were able to do that and extend it."
Johnson extended the Tampa Bay advantage to 4-1 with a late empty-netter.
Drouin made it 2-0 on another backhander that trickled past Greiss at 11:55 of the first. It was the first career playoff goal, coming in his 13th game, for the third overall pick in the 2013 draft.
Kulemin's deflection cut the deficit to 2-1 on the Islanders' third power play with 4:45 left in the first.
Bishop turned aside 11 of 12 first-period shots.
"He's a great goalie," Capuano said.
The Lightning limited New York to eight shots, including three during the third, over the final two periods.
Hedman stopped a 23-game playoff goal drought to give Tampa Bay a 3-1 lead during a power play at 11:59 of the second. His shot from the blue line went off New York's Calvin de Haan.
Hedman's goal came after Clutterbuck was sent off for goalie interference, a penalty that appeared to stun players on the New York bench.
PENGUINS 2, CAPITALS 1
WASHINGTON -- Eric Fehr scored the tiebreaking goal against his former team with about 41/2 minutes remaining, giving the Pittsburgh Penguins a victory over the Washington Capitals that tied the Eastern Conference second-round playoff series at a game apiece.
Fehr redirected a pass out of a corner from Evgeni Malkin, sending the puck off the right post and past goalie Braden Holtby. Fehr played parts of nine seasons in Washington across two stints before leaving as a free agent last summer to join Pittsburgh.
Carl Hagelin had put Pittsburgh ahead in second period of Game 2, before Marcus Johansson pulled Washington even on a power play with about 16 minutes to go in the third.
The series shifts to Pittsburgh for Game 3 on Monday night.
The Penguins improved to 43-0 this season, including the playoffs, when leading after two periods. They have not lost two consecutive games in 31/2 months -- since dropping a pair in overtime against Carolina and Tampa Bay on Jan. 12 and 14
