So far, so good. The New York Islanders might not have the playoff experience of their counterparts, but you couldn’t tell on Wednesday night.
Although it took until overtime, the Islanders were able to overcome the Pittsburgh Penguins on Wednesday. Josh Bailey followed up a rebound after Mathew Barzal dangled his way to a shot off the post. Fortunately for the Nassau Coliseum crowd, Bailey buried the finish and stole a crucial Game 1 victory for the Isles.
Bailey starts it, Barzal makes the play, Baley finishes it. #Isles take Game 1 in OT.
