I guess you could say that overall, it was a successful road trip.
The New York Islanders wrapped up their Ontario-Nashville-Dallas-Ontario journey tonight by visiting the Toronto Maple Leafs. For the Islanders, it was their third road game in five nights, and it showed at times. Ilya Sorokin, however, recovered nicely from conceding five goals to Nashville and kept the Islanders in it as he usually does.
But after two straight games where they couldn’t get the breaks—five posts against the Predators, Ryan Suter stopping the tying marker on the goal line and the Stars going the other way and scoring—they got a massive dose of good fortune when Leafs goalie Erik Källgren Tristan Jarry’d the late game-tying goal right to the original Jarry recipient, Josh Bailey.
