The Islanders quietly fell to the New Jersey Devils 3-1 as New York wraps up another disappointing season.
Things did not start off well for the Islanders; Patrik Ellias scored just 1:18 into the game to make it 1-0 Devils. But the Islanders Matt Moulson answered back two minutes later. He picked up a loose puck in front of the net and fired it past Devils starter Johan Hedberg.
Midway through the period Michael Haley and Cam Janssen dropped the gloves and gave the fans a good show.
Marty Reasoner was called for hooking at 19:54 of the first period and allowed the Devils to get their second power play of the night. Travis Zajac took advantage of the power play by scoring 22 seconds into the second period.
That’s all it would take to propel the Devils to a victory. Ilya Kovalchuk added an empty netter with 55 seconds left in the game to ensure the win.
The Isles were outshot 20-19 in the loss to the Devils.
