David Volek Scores in OT


Do you remember this day 16 years ago? I remember it well. It was May 14th, 1993, David Volek scores at 5:16 of overtime as the Islanders stun the Pittsburgh Penguins, who were the two-time defending Stanley Cup Champions, four games to three in the Patrick Division Final.




The Islanders' ownership is pursuing a development for the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum and surrounding area. It may be vital to their survival on Long Island. Please support the Lighthouse Project.

Isles say number one on your list:

1.) May 24th, 1980, Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum, 7:11 OT - "…Tonelli to Nystrom, he scores! Bob Nystrom scores the goal; the Islanders win the Stanley Cup."
