Well... that sucked. A promising first period and a good start to the second were erased as the Islanders slowly fell apart after going up by three goals. It seems early to say it, but this was a pretty meaningful game for the playoff picture, as the team’s chances have been slipping dramatically over the past few weeks. Losing this game, especially being in the position the Islanders were in, is one of those moments where you have to wonder where the team goes from here.
First Period
The Islanders scored early, setting the tone for a great start to the game.
