The Islanders ended their three-game road trip earlier today in a matinee against the surging Boston Bruins. It was the traditional afternoon game on Martin Luther King Day, a day the Isles haven’t had a great amount of success on the past few seasons. New York beat Boston last month 4-2, and the two teams will meet for the final time on March 25th.
A 4-0 shutout anchored by Thomas Greiss was the result. Nikolay Kulemin potted two goals, while Jason Chimera and Josh Bailey scored as well. A 2-1 road trip to start of the official second half of the year as they head back to Brooklyn Thursday for the start of a six-game home stand. The social media recap from today’s win can be seen below:

Well, Gionta's dead so I guess we won't have to worry about him anymore. #Isles

#Isles much more disciplined defensively compared to last time they were in Boston. Question is, will they mount any sustained offense?

Did that first period put you to sleep? Sure as hell did for me #Isles

29 points for Josh Bailey now. Also, nice to see him wearing an "A," well deserved.
