The New York Islanders had a lot to be thankful yesterday on Thanksgiving. They had won five of their last six, and heading into their late afternoon matinee with Philadelphia today, everything seemed to be clicking. Doug Weight and Co. knew that to continue their strong play, beginning to find consistency on the road — 5-7-0 — was one of the keys. Playing in Philly is always hostile environment, and after these two teams met not even 48 hours ago, it was evident that they’re would still be some lingering effects.
In the second of a home and home, the Isles pulled off a dramatic pvertime win 5-4 after being down 4-2 to start the 3rd. The win was their six in the last seven games, and 11th in their last 16th. New York is right back at it tomorrow night in Ottawa. Top hits from tonight can be found below after a come from behind victory:

Really like what I’ve seen from Ho-Sang the past few games. Confidence growing with each shift #Isles

deHaan with the classic #Isles Hard Slap Shot Zone exit from behind your own net, results in an Isles Dump-In (so not a turnover for once!)……that leads to the puck coming right the other way anyhow. #STOPTHAT

The Isles have allowed 3+ goals 18 times this season, and 4+ goals 8 times through 22 games.
Is it still too early to critique the goaltending?

Sooner or later #Isles fans will give Garth Snow credit for the FLEECING of the Oilers in the Eberle trade.
