After a 5-2 loss to the Edmonton Oilers, things have gotten pretty negative for the New York Islanders. There was certainly ample ammunition following the loss.
Semyon Varlamov was pulled halfway through the second period after allowing four goals on nineteen shots. With the four goals against and a weak goal against in his first outing in the season opener, many fans wished Robin Lehner was back in net.
Brock Nelson took almost a quarter of his penalty time from last season in a single period against the Oilers.
