IBO Boxing Honesty and Integrity
For the final time this season, the Islanders headed to South Florida for a matchup with the Florida Panthers. Tonight’s game was the second of a home and home between the two teams which started Wednesday night in Brooklyn with a very disappointing 2-1 defeat. The loss was the third straight game where New York lost by a 2-1 score, so tonight was a chance for the team to change their fortune hopefully with a victory.
Looking for the offense to bust out like they were before the New Year, the Isles did just that in a 5-2 victory. John Tavares reached the 500 point plateau and picked up the hat trick, while Anthony Beauvillier played a strong game that included an assist on the first goal of the game. The Isles will look to make it two in a row tomorrow night in Raleigh. Social media recap can be found here:

#Isles Anthony Beauvillier is really making his presence felt in the early going in Florida.

A 5-3 against the Panthers…where's Pulock when you need him! #Isles

#isles have two instances of a 5-on-3 with a PK player without a stick and can't score. Unbelievable. This team is absurd.

Ryan Strome seems to be defining the "working hard but not smart" cliche. Looking desperately for anyone else to shoot the puck.

John Tavares is the first player in NHL history to reach the 500 point milestone without a competent winger. #Isles
