With their backs to the wall, in a 2-0 hole against the defending Stanley Cup champions, the New York Islanders came to life.
Heading into the season, the biggest concern surrounding the 2019-20 Islanders was their ability to generate enough offense to win games.
For three of the first four games of the season, that narrative came to life.
The Isles had managed one goal against the Capitals, two against both the Oilers and Hurricanes, and even in their shootout win over the Florida Panthers, the Isles managed just two goals through regulation.
Just under six minutes were left in the third period when the Isles were faced with dropping four of their first six games.
