Sens Win 3-2 in OT over the Isles

After staking the Isles to a 2-0 lead, the Sens stage a thrilling comeback and win 3-2 in overtime

To hear long-time beat writers tell it, one of the hardest parts of the job is writing the recap for a game that turns on its head in the waning moments. I'm no professional journalist, but on this night I have a lot of sympathy for those that have to turn in their column on a deadline. Until midway through the third period, when Mark Stone narrowed the New York Islanders' lead to 2-1, it seemed like we were headed towards a dispiriting defeat for the local heroes.
