After taking six penalties in their 3-1 loss to the Wild, the Islanders did little to hide their frustration with the officiating.
, the Islanders did little to hide their frustration with the officiating, particularly with regards to Scott Mayfield’s third-period delay of game call.
“I think [the referee] saw him push me in the net,” Mayfield said. “I don’t know if the net’s coming off easy or what, but I think it was pretty obvious, I just held myself up with the net. He thinks I pushed it off. … He made the judgment call, and that’s on him.” Scott Mayfield, celebrating with teammates after scoring a first-period call, did not agree with a key delay of game call that went against him during the Islanders’ 3-1 loss to the Wild.“One of those nights where every little thing we did we were getting called for,” captain Anders Lee said. “Our killers had a great game, killed them off, Sorokie played phenomenal, we had an opportunity with half a period left to close it out.
It did not help their cause on Thursday, when offense proved especially hard to come by. The Islanders got just 20 shots on Wild netminder Filip Gustavsson, and Minnesota outshot them 12-6 in the final period, scoring all three of their goals with under 10 minutes to go in the game.
