The New York Islanders had to fight back from going down 2-0 in the first period on Thursday to claim their two points, and they just did that.
Like has happened quite often recently, the New York Islanders fell behind in Thursday’s opening frame at the Boston Bruins. But, like another emerging trend, the blue and orange battled back over the next 40 minutes, eventually grabbing the two points on another Anthony Beauvillier overtime winner.
