The Islanders knew they needed to rediscover their offense as thet began the second half of the season.
Forcing overtime against the Devils on Tuesday night before winning 4-3 in the final seconds was a start. It was the Islanders’ first multi-goal game of 2020 and their second straight win, in front of a split crowd of 14,518 at Prudential Center.
The Islanders experienced some serious déjà vu in the win. Just three days earlier, the Devils had beaten them 2-1 at Nassau Coliseum off goals from P.K. Subban and Nico Hischier. The same two culprits lit the lamp again Tuesday, before Kyle Palimieri gave the Devils a 3-2 lead with a power-play goal in the third.
