They hit some posts; we can give them that.
But two nights after the New York Islanders' scoring slump was temporarily broken by some generous goaltending in San Jose, no such puck luck was to come their way in Los Angeles. A 2-1 loss to the Kings felt too familiarly blah in this season that has yet to evoke memories of 2014-15. (Well, unless you thought 2014-15 was a massive failure, in which case you no doubt shout a lot on Twitter and have all the answers.)
Game Highlights
John Tavares opened the game by clanging the post to Jhonas Enroth's left, and in crunch time in the third period Johnny Boychuk and Brock Nelson both hit iron in their attempts to find the tying goal, but ultimately the story was familiar: Just one goal, and that's not enough.
