Shouldn’t this feel better?
The Isles pick up a big win for their postseason hopes when a loss would’ve been devastating. Even though they gave up a point, they’re now four points back of Philadelphia with two games in hand. Yeah, they don’t have the tiebreaker, but...
But...
In a season of gut punches, giving up a goal with 10 seconds left after failed clears and icings and once again failing to protect a lead in the third period, when a regulation win was really, really important, just feels like it might be the final one anyone can take from the 2023-24 New York Islanders.
