The New York Islanders needed a win tonight after last night’s blowout against the Dallas Stars. The odds were against them as they faced the St. Louis Blues, who hold the best record in the Western Conference. However, the Isles’ offense struck quickly and often, putting three goals past starter Jake Allen and then two past replacement Carter Hutton. Thomas Greiss was also phenomenal, keeping the Isles in the game as the fatigue from traveling and playing back to back games set in. A fantastic game from him and an offensive surge helped the Islanders get right back on track tonight.
