Another Late Third Period Goal Leads to Islanders Shootout Loss

Keeping with the season’s trend, the Islanders took a penalty late in the game and conceded a goal to push the contest into overtime and, eventually, a shootout where they would ultimately lose 3-2.

5th time this season #isles have allowed tying goal or winning goal in final 3 minutes.

John Tavares and Dennis Seidenberg scored for the Islanders, who fell to 4-6-1 on the season.

The first period started off with the Islanders continuing to take penalties and not allowing the team to build momentum in the offensive zone.
