Yes, the Islanders once again went to extra time and lost to the Panthers 5-4 in a shootout.
New York jumped out to a quick 2-0 first period lead on goals by Tim Jackman and Trent Hunter. The disturbing trend of blowing leads continued though as Florida came back to take the lead 4-2 in the 3rd.
From there John Tavares took over. First by burying his rookie leading 8th goal of the season and then winning a faceoff back to Kyle Okposo for the tying goal. Tavares now leads all rookies in goals and points.
The Islanders now have taken points in each of the first three games of the seven game road trip. Off to Boston for a Monday night tilt.
