Jordan Eberle is finally back on the scoresheet for the New York Islanders courtesy of Brock Nelson and Anders Lee.
Coming off of a 4-3 shootout win over the Detroit Red Wings to end a three-game home stand, the Islanders knew a fast start would be crucial. Fortunately for them, Eberle’s drought-breaking goal came just after the Islanders first power play of the game.
Though the scoring would stand after the first period, the Islanders were afforded another powerplay chance in the second period.
Nobody had to tell the Isles how badly the powerplay has been struggling, they are just 2/27 going back to Nov 26 and their only two powerplay goals were both against the Red Wings.
