The latest ridiculous PK streak ends, but the Islanders backup goalie continues to pay dividends.
Thomas Greiss delivered his latest essential performance in goal for the New York Islanders as they squeaked out a 2-1 win in Buffalo to close 2015 on a high note and jump back over the Rangers for second place in the Metropolitan Division.
Frans Nielsen scored in the second period after the Isles survived penalty trouble in the first, and Nikolay Kulemin scored an insurance goal early in the third before the Sabres finally got on the board.
