New York Islanders Three Stars: The Ex’s Edition

It was a matchup of the two worst teams in the Eastern Conference as the New York Islanders met up with the Buffalo Sabers on the road and the Isles came out the losers. Never-the-less, here are the Isles three stars for the game.

The New York Islanders lost 3-2 in overtime to the Buffalo Sabers. The second worst team in the east beat the worst. Now making the Islanders the absolute worst in the east.

The Islanders went up 2-1 by the end of the second period, only to the let the game get away from them in the third period. Thanks to Matt Mouslon on the power play.

So, chalk that up to an ex-Islanders scoring, on the penalty kill. A double whammy. The only way it could have been any worse was if Kyle Okposo had a hand in that goal.

PS: He got the only assist on that overtime goal.

Even though the Islanders lost, there were some positives to take from the game. And no, it was not, bad puck luck. No matter what Jack Capuano says in his post-game press conference tonight.

There were three Islanders players that stood out in tonight’s game. Three players that, had they not played as well as they did there is no way the Islanders would have earned a single point.
