DALLAS — The Islanders got the start they needed, but not the finish.
It’s the first time since Oct. 22-23 that the Islanders have lost consecutive games, and with another road game against the Maple Leafs coming up Monday, there’s some urgency to right the ship before they return home. Just as in Nashville on Thursday, there was no comeback. The closest the Islanders got after Benn’s goal was forcing a Ryan Suter clearance off the line on Kyle Palmieri’s shot, keeping a 3-2 lead intact at 15:36. Barely a minute later, Jason Robertson extended the Stars’ lead to 4-2 with a goal at 16:27 of the third. An empty-net goal from Jani Hakanpaa closed out the scoring.
In between, though, Barzal was primarily responsible for Radek Faksa’s goal at 6:57 of the second period. He let Benn skate through him to help set up the goal, which tied the score at 1-1. And, just 40 seconds after Barzal gave the Islanders a 2-1 lead with his second tally, Marchment tied it up on a one-timer from the slot, courtesy of Benn.After the period did them in against the Predators, the Islanders did what was needed in the opening 20 minutes Saturday.
