The third period couldn’t have started any worse for the New York Islanders. Within the first few moments of the period, the Islanders let up two point-blank scoring chances for the Columbus Blue Jackets.
The first one likely would’ve been the worst goal of Greiss’ career as he somehow let a wobbler past him but it luckily hit the post and went out.
The second one was just pure luck. Boone Jenner trickled one past Thomas Greiss and somehow the puck stayed out of the net with both Greiss and Scott Mayfield swiping at it.
