The Islanders were in Boston tonight as they were looking for anyway to stop the bleeding after losing there last five games in a row. Thomas Greiss was given the nod tonight after J.F. Berube was between the pipes that last two games in which the team was outscored 9-4 in the process. On to the game where the Isles were victorious 4-2. Thomas Greiss and Anders Lee lead the way as the Isles broke their five-game skid. They’ll look to build on it Friday as they welcome Kyle Okposo back to Brooklyn. Social media recap is here:
Remember like last week when we thought the #Isles might be back? Good times
