For the second time in a week, the New York Islanders couldn't find a way to cool off the red-hot Calgary Flames, falling 3-1 at NYCB Live.
Josh Bailey scored for the Islanders, but Matthew Tkachuk, Mikael Backlund and Rasmus Andersson scored for the Flames, who turned a 1-1 tie into a 3-1 lead with a pair of goals in the opening 5:12 of the third period.
"Obviously the next one is pretty important when you're tied going into the third and you get a bit of a backbreaker when they get the third one," Bailey said. "It's tough to get out of a two-goal deficit in the third and it wasn't our night."
With the loss, the Islanders fall to 0-2-0 against the Flames this season. Calgary won it's sixth straight game.
