Bruins fall to Islanders 2-1 in shootout
UNIONDALE, N.Y. (AP) — The New York Islanders keep finding ways to win.
Anthony Beauvillier scored the deciding goal in the shootout and the Islanders beat the Boston Bruins 2-1 on Tuesday night for their sixth straight victory.
The Islanders are 8-0-1 in their last nine for their longest point streak since a franchise-record 17-game stretch early last season.
“In a shortened season you want to come away with points and we’ve found a way to do that last couple of weeks here,” said Brock Nelson, who scored in regulation. “Nice to get this one in a shootout and just a good feeling in the room.”
