On Feb. 9, 2018, the New York Islanders were trailing the Detroit Red Wings 5-2 with 6:33 remaining in the third period when Tyler Bertuzzi was given a 5-minute match penalty for a slash on Cal Clutterbuck.
The Islanders then proceeded to score four goals in 3:37 to send the game into overtime.
“In incredible fashion, the Islanders make them pay,” exclaimed color commentator Butch Goring. “When shooting the puck, it’s amazing to see what happens.”
Last season, the Islanders had the sixth-best power play unit in the league. This season … not so much.
