The 5 Hole: Blanked in Big D

After an uninspired performance Thursday night, the Islanders were looking for a big win in Dallas. The Isles and Stars only met once this season with the Islanders winning 6-5 in a back and forth affair. These two clubs always go blow for blow whenever they face each other. Before the game, the team got good news and bad news earlier in the day with the Pens winning and Rangers losing, so it was up to them to take care of business. And they couldn’t end up doing their part losing 3-0. Recap can be found below.

I am definitely feeling the energy this Prince kid is bringing. #Isles

First time in 10 games #isles don't allow 1st pd goal. 1st time in 5 they don't trail after 1 but no 1st pd goals in last 111:52 of 1st pd

I think more #Isles fans care more about Strait playing in this game then actually seeing the team win tonight. True story
