It’s been a bit of a tense time in the Isles-sphere lately, with the team looking listless on the ice and fan-favorite players telling fans to stay home. But this loss might really be the icing on the garbage cake.
After taking a quick lead in what looked like a statement from Mat Barzal, the New York Islanders couldn’t put the puck past a goalie currently sporting a .867 save percentage. Instead, they had another third period collapse, giving up two power play goals and a shorthanded empty netter to drop their second game in a row 4-1.
