A scrum starts in front of Lightning goalie Ben Bishop that pushes Bishop into his own net and results in a roughing penalty for Islanders' Mike Blunden.

The ill will between the New York Islanders and Tampa Bay Lightning has continued early in Game 4 on Friday.

It started with a scuffle in front of the Tampa Bay net after Islanders forward Steve Bernier fell over Ben Bishop, appearing to push downward with his stick as the Lightning goalie covered the puck.

Anxious few seconds there for the Lightning, as Bishop, appearing to favor the back of his head, was slow to get back to his skates. He has remained in the game.

The Islanders, needing a win to even the series, broke through for the game’s opening goal. Kyle Okposo ripped a shot from the slot that beat Bishop on the glove side late in the ensuing power play following the aforementioned heated gathering.
