After a deflating loss on Tuesday, Barry Trotz decided to shuffle up the lines for this game against Vegas. He put Mathew Barzal with Ross Johnston, Leo Komarov played on the second line, it was your quintessential lines in a blender performance for the New York Islanders.
No goals were scored on either side in the first period, but the Islanders looked like the better team. They got 13 shots off against Vegas and controlled play for the majority of the period despite leaving with a tied score.
In period number two, Cal Clutterbuck came screaming in the offensive zone with Casey Cizikas.
