It’s been a nice two days off for the Islanders, but it was time to get back to work. After winning probably the biggest game of the season Saturday night down in Raleigh, they were back in action to finish off a home and home series with those same Carolina Hurricanes. The blue and orange needed to get two points in any shape or form against this non-playoff team, and they did. The Isles gutted out a 2-1 shootout win, and two massive points in the process. They have now won two in a row. The best hits from social media can be found here after tonight’s victory.

Feels like I've been waiting all season for the #isles to kick it into the next gear. Time to step it up a notch and get the job done!

Either this ends in a Clutterbuck OT winner or a Clutterbuck OT winner off a defender’s face.

The #Isles need to unleash their inner #USMNT and bust open a game that need to & should win.

It's pretty clear Capuano only trusts 6 forwards right now. #isles
— Islanders Insight (@IslesInsight) March 30, 2016
The inability to clear the zone is scary. #isles

Huge point. Now let's get two. #isles

The ice is so bad, I wouldn't be surprised with 117-round shootout. Just sayin'. #Isles
