The New York Islanders’ winding, quadruple-border-crossing road trip continued in Calgary on Tuesday with a new wrinkle on a similar theme: Good effort overall at 5-on-5, but not enough offense and a stuttering power play meant their chance for two points slipped away with a 2-1 shootout loss.
They still managed one point, via a shootout loss, and perhaps could’ve had more but for a rock-solid performance by rookie Flames goalie Dustin Wolf. He was beaten only one time, including the shootout, and a third-period Flames power play — their first and only of the game — forced the game into extra time.
