The Islanders took advantage of Coyotes coach Dave Tippets' blunder and jumped out to a 4-1 lead after Ed Jovanovski tried to take off John Tavares' head with his elbow and was given a major penalty and a game misconduct. Tippet never placed a player in the box to serve the penalty and when it lapsed Phoenix remained shorthanded and subsequently took another penalty pretty much spending half the second period shorthanded.
New York though was their own worst enemy and subsequently blew a 3 goal 3rd period lead before salvaging a 5-4 shootout win.
Tavares registered as assist despite the elbow and a brutal crosscheck from Adrian Aucoin as well. JT needs to get going, he was more involved on this trip and with 1 game in the next 6 days it should give him an opportunity to re-charge his batteries and nurse any ailments that he might be suffering.
Red Wings come in Tuesday.
