After I railed against them for not beating the Arizona Coyotes, the New York Islanders defeated the Vegas Golden Knights in regulation. As you were.
The Islanders didn’t have their A-game last night, but they did nearly tie the all-situations expected goals game according to Natural Stat Trick. More importantly, they scored more actual goals and took the win.
Good for Hudson Fasching, who can now say most of his career goals came with the Islanders, and Simon Holmstrom, who finally scored his first NHL goal. Both guys were last-minute entries into the lineup for Cal Clutterbuck and Kyle Palmieri (poor guy, head injuries suck (I’m assuming it’s a head injury)).
