Tampa Bay Lightning forward Alex Killorn received a five-minute boarding major and was ejected from Game 2 for his dangerous hit on Brock Nelson of the New York Islanders.

Nelson was forced to leave the game and has not yet returned. The Islanders, meanwhile, were unable to capitalize with the extended man advantage.
The Lightning opted to dress 11 forwards and seven defensemen for Game 2, so Killorn's absence leaves them with just 10 players up front.
