At long last, a victory.
A month and a day long, to be exact, for the Islanders.
The Islanders snapped an 11-game losing streak while extending their point streak to four games with a 5-3 win over the Senators on Tuesday night at Ottawa’s Canadian Tire Centre. Captain Anders Lee scored two of their three second-period goals as, after a sluggish first period, the Islanders consistently played near the opponent’s net.
It marked their first win since a 2-0 victory at Winnipeg on Nov. 6 and their most goals since a 6-2 win at Montreal two nights before that.
