A pair of late goals undid a solid effort by the New York Islanders on Saturday night, as they fell 3-2 in overtime to the Florida Panthers at BB&T Center.
The Islanders were 13.6 seconds away from a gritty 2-1 win over the Panthers, but Jonathan Marchessault snuck a wrister through an otherwise-solid Jaroslav Halak (40 saves) sending the game to overtime. In OT, the Islanders were 45.8 seconds away from a shootout, but Denis Malgin ended the game by deflecting a Vincent Trochek shot past Halak.
