The New York Islanders snapped a mini-skid to bring their early season record to 2-3 after a 3-2 win over the Arizona Coyotes.
The Isles had a 2-0 lead in the first but lost it in a flash, and they spent much of the rest of the game increasing pressure on a Coyotes goalie who’s been under fire.
They also spent it with five defensemen, as Ryan Pulock lasted only five shifts and 3:57 in his first NHL game of the season before exiting with a lower body injury.
Johnny Boychuk scored the winner — his second point of the night — early in the third.
