Thomas Greiss made sure the Islanders got right back into the win column.
Greiss was fabulous in making 37 saves and Scott Mayfield netted the go-ahead goal with 13:10 remaining as the Islanders may have started a new winning streak with a 2-1 decision Saturday over the Panthers at Barclays Center.
The Islanders had posted 10 consecutive victories before an overtime loss to the Penguins on Thursday night in Brooklyn, so Barry Trotz’s team now has secured at least one point in its past 12 games (11-0-1).
Mathew Barzal netted his team-best seventh goal of the season 5:40 into the first period, a backhanded roofer past Panthers goalie Sergei Bobrovsky three seconds after an Islanders’ power play had expired.
