The Islanders defeated the Columbus Blue Jackets 2-1 in a shootout thanks to 41 saves from Dwayne Roloson.
It was a choppy game that the Isles held a 1-0 lead for most of the night before R.J. Umberger evened the count. The New York power play continued its struggles failing to capitalize on a two man advantage. Rob Schremp scored on a pretty move to finish it.
John Tavares played better after his lengthy talk with Coach Scott Gordon at the morning skate. Tavares did not register any points but he was more involved, had 3 shots on goal and set up Trent Hunter with a nice between the legs feed in the 3rd that came up empty.
Isles are off to Ottawa for New Years Eve, I will be heading to Boston for the Winter Classic. I'll try and catch the NYI-Sens game and I will give you my insights on my first Winter Classic. As well, I will be catching the BU game Saturday afternoon and will provide a scouting report on Isles second rounder Corey Trivino.
Have a safe and Happy New Year everyone!
