The New York Islanders looked solid in their first game back, against the Pittsburgh Penguins, after a long layoff. They had been on a miserable losing streak, and the fact that they were able to put an end to it was relieving.
However, would they be able to turn this into a much-needed winning streak?
1st period: So much going on
The first period of this hockey game was quick and intense. The Islanders weren’t as dominant as they would’ve liked, but they did have some good looks.
An early Michael Dal Colle penalty gave the New York Rangers some momentum, but the Isles’ penalty kill was excellent.
