The New York Islanders blew their opportunity to gain some much needed ground in the standings with tonight’s loss. The deflating part was the Islanders came out strong to start.
Nick Leddy got the scoring going with his eighth of the season. Leddy has provided nice offense for the Isles from the d-man position this year as he’s already eclipsed his goal total from last year.
Leddy’s goal would be the only goal of the first period. The story early on was the play of Thomas Greiss, he was on his game again.
