The New York Islanders’ intensity seemed to fade with each successive period on Thursday night, culminating in what was a disappointing and frustrating loss in Pittsburgh.
The New York Islanders didn’t bring their best to Thursday night’s game in Pittsburgh, falling by a final score of 4-1 to a Penguins team that got some bounces, but also played a very focused game throughout.
