The New York Islanders (7-4-1) won their fourth straight game on Thursday night, beating the Pittsburgh Penguins 3-2 in a shootout at Barclays Center.
Thomas Greiss made 29 saves and stopped all three Penguins shootout attempts, while Josh Bailey netted the game-deciding goal in the third round of the shootout. The win was the Islanders second in a row vs the Penguins and improved the Islanders to 5-0-0 in divisional games for the second time in team history.
"Any time you put a few wins together, the feeling gets really good in the room," Anders Lee said. "That energy is there. We're playing good hockey against some good teams. They've set the standard the last few years and to get a couple wins, obviously just a shootout, but huge points for us."
