For those who stayed awake until nearly 1:00 am on the East Coast, you were surely treated to some late-game dramatics from the NY Islanders.
After squandering another two-goal lead, the Isles were on the winning end of a game in which they’ve typically lost in the past.
Trailing 3-2 with under three minutes remaining, Mat Barzal knotted the game at three after some nifty passing from Jonathan Drouin and Matthew Schaefer.
Only twice in NY Islanders history
The Isles took a too-many-men penalty in overtime after Schaefer jumped on the ice too quickly, as things looked bleak facing a potent Vegas Golden Knights power play at 4-on-3.
