After losing in Calgary on Sunday, the Islanders head north to Edmonton to battle the Oilers.
“We just really shot ourselves in the foot. When you give up four goals like that, it’s hard to win in this league.”
— Islanders’ captain, John Tavares reflecting back to the Flames four-goal first period in Sunday’s 5-2 loss in Calgary
The Oilers 4-3 shootout win in Brooklyn earlier this season was only the second shootout between these clubs all-time. The Islanders won the first shootout, winning 3-2 over Edmonton Dec. 10, 2005.
