Penguins 3, Islanders 2 (OT): Isles fall deeper in the hole
The New York Islanders fell to 5-8-4 and 5-4-3 at home after a 3-2 overtime loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins. The game swung on a pendulum -- mostly titled against the Islanders, though they had a big push of their own in the second period — but an overtime home loss seemed like the inevitable best-of-worst case scenarios.
Kris Letang scored the winner at 1:24. The Isles now head on a tough Western road trip during the week of U.S. Thanksgiving, and they are 0-4-1 away from Barclays Center so far this year.
