Meet the healthier Islanders, same as the injured Islanders.
If anyone thought Sunday was the chance for the Islanders to write the first chapter of the turnaround of their season, with Mat Barzal and Adam Pelech back in the lineup, with the chance to get above NHL .500, with the chance to get into a playoff spot and with an opponent at the bottom of the league, all those aspirations went “splat” into the United Center ice.
Indeed it was, as Noah Dobson cut to the slot and finished through traffic to tie the game just 47 seconds into the third period.Where the Islanders had struggled to complete passes and be in the right places early on, those problems suddenly melted away in the last 20 minutes.4And when the Blackhawks finally got a grade-A chance, with 54 seconds to go in regulation, they made the Islanders pay.
Chicago took advantage of the Islanders’ struggles in the defensive zone when an uncovered Ilya Mikheyev converted Teravainen’s feed to the low slot for a 1-0 lead 9:08 into the match.
