It wasn’t always pretty. Through 40 minutes the New York Islanders only had ten shots on the net. Almost 50% of those shots came from a single source, Oliver Wahlstrom, who had four on the night.
If not for Anthony Beauvillier continuing his absolutely insane run of form right now the Islanders might not force this one to OT.
