The New York Islanders robbed the Ottawa Senators of a regulation win tonight in Kanata, Ontario. They fired a mere 13 shots on goal, the lowest total shots on goal the Islanders have recorded in a win since Butch Goring shepherded the team, back in October 2000.
They were able to do so, and get back to NHL .500 plus seven OT losses, unsurprisingly on the back of Ilya Sorokin (although he played both halves of the back-to-back), and quite surprisingly on the back of their special teams: The power play went 2-for-2 and created the game-winner, and the penalty kill only gave up one goal but also killed off two other penalties at critical points in the game.
