The New York Islanders played another solid game under new coach Patrick Roy, putting up over 40 shots against the defending Stanley Cup champions, but a couple of weak goals and bad turnovers would result in the first loss of the Roy era.
Brock Nelson picked up his 500th NHL point and 21st goal this season, but the Isles struggled to get their shots past Adin Hill, who was playing in his first NHL game in over a month after dealing with an injury.
Lots to take away from this one, and lots to improve, but it definitely feels like there’s some renewed energy in the team.
