The Song Remains The Same

Isles fall in overtime.

The Islanders were able to get a point tonight thanks to great goaltending from Martin Biron and clutch goal scoring from Jeff Tambellini. A little luck too, courtesy of a non-call from the refs.

Mark Streit knocked down a loose puck at center ice that was not called and led to the tying goal from Tambellini, his second of the game. Of course, the Islanders lost in extra time again 3-2. The Isles now stand at 1-4-5.

John Tavares was held scoreless for a 4th straight game. He had some opportunities and was offensively involved, including a nice play on the forecheck to help lead to Tambellinis' tying goal. But, JT has been developing some bad habits and his game has fallen in the last week. It will be interesting to see how he battles through his first bout with adversity at the pro level.
