Not this time. Not this game.
The Islanders played an abysmal first 30 minutes on Thursday night, but instead of coming back, their attempt fell short in a 5-4 loss to the Predators. Though the Isles regained their footing in the back half of the game and threatened to pull of another stirring win, they instead are heading to Dallas with an 11-7-0 record and the realization that they cannot play themselves out of every hole they step into.
Nashville scored twice more before the opening 20 minutes had finished, with Colton Sissons redirecting Cole Smith’s shot at 8:43 and Nino Niederreiter’s shot going off Noah Dobson’s skate and past Ilya Sorokin at 9:41. The only reprieve for the Islanders was Adam Pelech’s goal on the team’s first shot, which took a hop off Dante Fabbro’s stick and sent Juuse Saros the wrong way.
