Finally, the Islanders grueling nine-game road trip came to an end tonight in St. Louis. Coming into the contest, New York was 5-2-1 with wins in Detroit, Montreal, Dallas, Edmonton and Vancouver and were looking for one more huge win to come back home. It was a special night for St. Louis native as he was able to play in front of family and friends.
On to the game where the Isles comeback fell short 4-3. They finish the road trip 5-3-1. The social media recap can be found here:

Remember that the offside review pretty much won the #isles a playoff game last year. Easy to bash it when it hurts them now.

#Isles had a power-play goal erased on an replay review that showed an offside violation, leading 1980 Flyers to pop open a champagne bottle

Good for St. Louis native @scottmayfield2, who gets secondary assist on Nelson goal. #Isles

9 road games ago, if you told me #Isles could get 11 points and be one point only out of a playoff spot, I would have taken it.
