The New York Islanders powerplay struggles cost them yet again, this time to the Winnipeg Jets, 3-1.
Barry Trotz liked the overall effort from his team, but after two scoreless frames some mental gaffes from the Islanders neutralized a powerplay and swung the momentum in the Jets’ direction.
Butch Goring always says that hockey is a game of mistakes, and the Jets pounced on the Islanders the moment they took their foot off the gas.
Anders Lee led the Isles in the third period with his 10th of the season, his third goal in as many games.
