'Tis good to Clutterbuck now and then.
Thomas Greiss won his second consecutive start after weathering a first-period storm, the fourth line scored two third-period goals, and the New York Islanders opened this week's homestand with their third win in the last four games as they beat the Colorado Avalanche 5-3 in Brooklyn.
The Isles also received a key buzzer-beating goal from the power play and two from the recently constructed third line that now features Ryan Strome after his return from Bridgeport purgatory. It's been an up and down November, but the Isles finish on a high note as they prepare for Wednesday's first New York derby of 2015-16.
