Yes! It shouldn’t feel like a big win, but it was so necessary for the Isles to get two points last night against the Metro-bottom Blue Jackets that I felt a sense of relief when it was over.
That need for two points even took some of the sting off Ilya Sorokin losing his shutout bid late. And hallelujah, they even got a power play goal.

- The Isles did exactly what they needed, with a complete game. One errant shot off a Blue Jacket’s chest ended Sorokin’s shutout bid. [LHH]
- They played well enough to score more, but goals from Pageau and Barzal were enough.
