If you checked in after the second period last night, you found the New York Islanders up 3-0 and figured they were well on their way to extending their winning streak to 11 games.
But the Pittsburgh Penguins broke the shutout bid early in the third, and added two more by the midway point to force overtime, where casual play by the Isles in their own zone during 3-on-3 led to the completion of Pittsburgh’s comeback.
Still doesn’t take away last spring’s sweep, and still left the Isles with one standings point on the night.
