NEW YORK -- No team in the NHL this season has lost in overtime or the shootout more than the New York Islanders. But all of those losses add up to the Islanders remaining in control of their playoff fate after their 3-2 shootout loss to the rival New York Rangers at Madison Square Garden on Saturday.

"We can't be disappointed with it. Every point matters here down the stretch. It's obviously very tight within the division and within the wildcard, so it's a big point today on the road against a great hockey team," Islanders captain Anders Lee said.
