Happy to be wrong: The New York Islanders will not have to play their next home game looking for their first win because they achieved it on the road against the Colorado Avalanche last night. And they didn’t steal it; they earned it.
The Islanders didn't necessarily dominate, but they controlled the first two periods, even after giving up the first goal a minute in, and got out of the third-period push you knew was coming from the Avalanche. Although Semyon Varlamov started the first two games and was visiting his former team, Ilya Sorokin made his season debut and was excellent, especially in that third period.
