The Penguins have done it in every manner of way. They’ve eked out wins. They’ve dominated. They’ve capitalized on mistakes and they’ve gotten lucky.

Throughout this season, they’ve found every possible way to stymie this Islanders team, even when they were playing well, and Saturday was yet another frustrating example. The Islanders went up, then they faltered, and then they eventually fell in the final seconds of overtime to lose, 4-3, at Nassau Coliseum.
