It felt like forever, but finally after a five day break, Islanders hockey was finally back. They took their strong recent play into the capital city of Canada, Ottawa for a showdown with the Ottawa Senators. The two teams met earlier in the season with the Sens getting a 3-2 win in overtime. Unlike that game, the Isles were the team to come out on top this time around picking a 5-2 win. The victory gave the Isles their seventh point in the last four games. They will look to keep the momentum going when they face the Flyers tomorrow night Take a look at the best via social media during tonight’s contest.
Is this Plan A or Plan B?

I’m sure Isles Twitter is a little bit more violent than this.
