The Islanders played about 50 minutes of a really good, almost ideal road game in Seattle on Saturday afternoon, but a mistake and a bounce in the third period ended up leaving them without a point to show for their efforts.
The 3-2 outcome stings, but their approach, really picking up where they left off the other night in Vancouver, was a promising sign. Nothing flashy, but all four lines looked in sync again as they put pucks to good places and consistently covered for each other to keep plays alive.
