Islanders 1, Bruins 0: Varly’s still perfect

Whenever the Bruins visit the Islanders, whether it was at Barclays Center or the Coliseum, the Islanders could not keep up with them. During the first period, it looked like another one of those games.

But solid goaltending kept the Islanders in it and they played to the pace of the Bruins in the latter two frames. Semyon Varlamov kept his shutout up for the rest of the game, setting a new franchise record for most time to start a season without giving up a goal—he has two shutouts in two starts in 2021.

First Period: Wake Up Gentlemen

The Islanders had to be happy that they came out tied 0–0.
