The dream of an undefeated season has dissipated. But the dream of points in every game remains alive and well!
The New York Islanders lost in overtime a spirited, back-and-forth, offensive battle with the New Jersey Devils. The Isles scored first but took too many penalties and let the Devils take the lead, forcing the Isles to chase the rest of the game.
Yet they erased every one-goal deficit they faced to push it to overtime, including tying it up 4-4 with the goalie pulled and with just over a minute on the clock.
