It seems like nothing can change the Isles luck right now. Last night in Tampa, they finally got the offensive outburst they were looking for, problem was the defense and goaltending failed to do the same. So they were looking for improvement from up and down the roster as they took on the Carolina Hurricanes down in Raleigh. Last time, the two teams met the Islanders were a no-show, and with the way the last few weeks have gone, that was something that didn’t need to happen again. Desperate for a win, the Islanders fought for a critical 4-3 win in overtime. They picked up two monster points. They will see these same Canes Tuesday night, until then, breathe Isles fans and check out the best hits from social media.
I want Strait to get a goal, just to read #Isles twitter tonight lmao!

Personally, decided to be happy Strait is in the lineup. Never tried it before.

#Isles puck management again leaves a lot to be desired, even though they're up 1-0. Lots of time in D zone

That was actually a good play by Strait. #Isles

I don't want Strome passing every time he touches the puck. Shoot it kid, let that wrister go. #Isles

Tavares has been pretty solid so far. Has about four takeaways right off Canes sticks.
