Just when you thought the Islanders had found the better side of their game, they go and do this.
The best thing you could say about Thursday night in Edmonton is that the 4-2 loss to the Oilers did not end up quite as bad as it looked after the first 20 minutes. Aside from Ilya Sorokin in nets, though, the Islanders struggled in every area.
Cal Clutterbuck, who was playing his first game back after a finger injury, got on the scoresheet with 53 seconds to go in the second to keep the game within arm’s length going into the third. In truth, the Islanders were lucky at that point to only be down two. On another night, as in Vancouver 48 hours prior, they might have gone into the dressing room, found their footing and competed for a win over the next 40 minutes.
