The Islanders exited Brooklyn — for now — with yet another win, if not another one of their better outings.
They beat the Oilers, 5-2, on Saturday night at Barclays Center before a crowd of 14,812, the second largest of the season in the building, despite giving up three power plays in the third period and needing two late goals for a comfortable margin.
“We found a way,” said captain Anders Lee, who gave the Isles a 4-2 edge at 17:44 of the third period and snapped an 11-game streak without a goal. “It wasn’t a full game by us and we gave them a lot of opportunities, a few bad penalties in the third, but our penalty kill did an unbelievable job.
