Islanders 5, Pens 4 SO

I would like to find some other way to describe this game but it is the same script from all the other games this season. Also the extra act was added on since it was the Islanders, which means a Shootout loss. One thing that this Shootout loss did for them was move them into a tie with the Blues for the worst record in the NHL and cost them at least a No. 2 draft pick. Which might turn out not to be a bad thing since there is no real No. 1 like the last 2 drafts.

The Islanders jump out to a 3-1 lead on two by Blake and a cherry pick by Satan after Gonchar put the Pens up. LeClair scored twice with the Islander getting one in between on Colliton 1st NHL goal. Hilbert was able to knock a loose puck in with just under 2 to play which of course let to the shootout lose.

Crosby was held pointless and stuck on 97 points for the season. He looked to be pressing quite a bit and just a little bit tired at points in the game. He did have a good change for a goal but was unable to control it at the side of the net.

It is the Islanders again on Tue for the final home game of the year...
