After a tough week it was important for the New York Islanders to get a couple of points tonight on their home ice. Initially it looked like it would be another long night for the Islanders.
The Kings jumped out to an early 2-0 lead. Oscar Fatenberg and Tyler Toffoli got the Kings on the board in the first. They had the momentum for the first 19 minutes of the period.
With 50 seconds left in the period the red hot Josh Bailey got the Islanders on the board to make it a one goal game before the end of the period.
