The New York Islanders came back home after a long road trip for just their third home game of the season.
The Florida Panthers were playing on back-to-back nights, having a “players only meeting” after a loss at Madison Square Garden the night before, and looking for just their second win of the season.
Though the Isles were spotted a 2-0 lead, the Panthers erased that in the third and found what they were looking for in an overtime power play. Florida won, 3-2, having logged 13 shots in each regulation period and outshooting the Isles 41-22 overall.
