Kyle Palmieri's tough-angled wrist shot in overtime secures a 3-2 win for the New York Islanders against the Montreal Canadiens, strengthening their position in the Metropolitan Division. Despite overcoming deficits, the Islanders face challenges with the absence of defenseman Noah Dobson.
Kyle Palmieri snuck a tough-angled wrist shot from the right goal-line 1:17 into overtime to lift the New York Islanders to a 3-2 victory over the Montreal Canadiens on Thursday night at UBS Arena to strengthen their hold on third place in the Metropolitan Division .) overturned a pair of one-goal deficits behind a second-period goal from Pierre Engvall and a quick third-period reply by Casey Cizikas to tie the game at two apiece for the final moments of the game.
Amid the good result comes troubling news, however. Top defenseman, Noah Dobson, exited just 5:33 into the game due to an undisclosed injury and did not return. In his absence, his team appeared out of sorts for considerable stretches. The Swedish winger had five shots in total during the period, including a breakaway chance that was turned away by Sam Montembeault.
Pelech once again was on the wrong end of a questionable hit when he was hit into the boards head-first by Michael Pezzetta late in the second to spark a curfuffle between both sides.
