After beating the Penguins on Tuesday night, the New York Islanders were in a heated battle with them again last night. The game ended up going into overtime tied at two and we got one of the most intense periods of hockey we’ve seen in a while.
The Islanders were in the offensive zone and the Penguins caused a Mathew Barzal turnover. It resulted in Sidney Crosby being all alone from about center ice onwards.
When the best player in the world has the game on the line with the puck chances are he comes through for his team.
