in the 3rd period with 5:27 to go in the game. Just as it appeared that the Islanders two-year reign was going to come to an end, Mike McEwen scored to cut the Penguins lead to 3–2. Still trailing late in the period, exactly three minutes after McEwen's goal, John Tonelli scored a goal to tie the game and sent it to overtime. At 6:19 of the extra session, Tonelli scored the game winner to complete the comeback, giving the Islanders a 4–3 victory and a 3–2 series win. This scare by Pittsburgh would serve as a wake up call to the Islanders, who would lose just two more games the rest of the way en route to their third straight Stanley Cup. The Penguins would not return to the playoffs again until 1989, the fifth year of the Mario Lemieux era. In 1993, the teams met the Patrick Division Final. The Penguins were the two-time defending Stanley Cup champions and in search of their third straight title. They had won the Presidents' Trophy with 119 points and were coming off a five-game series win over the New Jersey Devils in the opening round. Meanwhile, the Islanders who finished the season with 87 points, 32 behind Pittsburgh, were coming off a six-game series win over the Washington Capitals in the opening round, but the win came at a price. Pierre Turgeon suffered a separated shoulder on a vicious check by Washington's Dale Hunter after scoring a goal late in the deciding game. The teams split the first four games before the Pens won game 5 by a score of 6–3. Faced with elimination, the Islanders won game 6 at home by a score of 7–5. In game 7, the Islanders lead 3–1 late in the third period when Ron Francis scored to cut the lead to 3–2. Then, with one minute left in the game, Rick Tocchet scored to force sudden death overtime. Then at 5:16 of overtime, David Volek, who was a healthy scratch often during the regular season, scored the series-winning goal, ending the Penguins' chances at a three-peat. On February 11, 2011, the teams engaged in a vicious brawl. In the game (which the Islanders dominated the Penguins 9–3) the teams combined for 65 penalties, which included 15 fighting majors and 21 game misconducts, resulting in a combined total of 346 penalty minutes. The two teams met
