Close weekend for the Islanders


The Islanders were in Chicago Friday to play the Blackhawks. They started badly being down 2-0 with 1 minute left in the first period. They ended the period tied at two though, because Josh Bailey and Kyle Okposo both scored goals in the last minute for the Islanders. They ended up losing 3-2 after the Blackhawks scored in the third period again. The Islanders had a similar fate on Saturday night when they played the Nashville Predators. John Tavares and Franz Nielsen both scored during the second period. Those goals weren't enough though as they lost the game 3-2 again. Their record dropped to 2-2-1 over the weekend, but it's a long season and the team is going to shake it off and go back to New York and battle the Buffalo Sabres Tomorrow night to start a 4 game homestand. Islanders Alternate captain Kyle Okposo is shown below along with Franz Nielsen.
