The Islanders suffered a 2-1 defeat at the hands of the Stars on Tuesday night at UBS Arena after Jason Robertson’s shootout winner.
The Islanders got the much-improved start they needed. And really, they played the game they needed coming off a rough four-game road trip. All that was missing were the two points.
They can’t guarantee themselves that fate in the midst of a January homestand, not with the race so tight in the Eastern Conference between themselves, the Penguins, the Sabres, the Capitals and the Rangers. But they certainly can watch their hopes slide away if things go the wrong direction.Getty Images
That ended up being the sort of costly moment the Islanders can ill afford on a night that might otherwise have been positive. Quickly, it paid off, as Anders Lee redirected Brock Nelson’s pass into the net for a power-play goal at 13:39 of the first.
