VANCOUVER, British Columbia — The Islanders got another point when they really needed two.
The Canucks won a 5-4 shootout on Tuesday night at Rogers Arena, extending the Islanders' losing streak to seven (0-3-4) as they opened a four-game road trip. And it kept the Islanders from regaining a playoff spot.
“You don’t want to be below the line,” Islanders coach Barry Trotz said. “That’s the reality check.”
