The Islanders played well for the first period and then P.D.O.'ed their way to victory. The Rangers dictated the play for the second period and were in complete control for most of the third. The Islanders went into their lay and pray that they so often do with their sizable leads and were fortunate that it didn't come back to hurt them.
The Stars
First Star - Jaroslav Halak
With all do respect to the voters tonight, they got it wrong. Tavares did well - better than most the team - but without Halak this game could have looked much worse than it did. He carried the team tonight.
Second Star - Vesper Fast
It's hard to give the second star to a guy on a team that lost 4-1, but Fast broke the shutout and put up crazy possession numbers. The only Islander with more points than him was Johnny Boychuk, but his possession numbers were poor. From a plus/minus standpoint some Islanders were better, but that shouldn't discredit what Fast accomplished.
Third Star - John Tavares
Tavares was under .500 in possession, but did better than the rest of the team, scored, and helped on a power play goal that didn't result in an assist. This could have gone to Ryan Strome, but ultimately we'll give it to Tavares.
The goats
First Goat - Henrik Lundqvist
.895 is not going to get it done on most nights and on a night where Halak was on, Lundqvist had to be much better than this.
Second Goat - Derick Brassard
Derick Brassard wasn't the worst possession guy on the team, but he was out for two goals against and really sandbagged his entire line.
Third Goat - Nick Leddy
It's hard to figure out what went wrong with the Islanders leading possession defenseman tonight, but he was off for most of the night. The relative Corsi was poor and the Corsi for percentage would make the Sabres blush. He's Leddy so he should rebound, but this was quite the off night.
