Islanders finally get the "W"

It's been a rough week for the Islanders. They lost all of their last 4 games getting outscored 16-6 by The Capitals, Hurricanes, Blue Jackets and Canadiens. Last night was a different story though as The Islanders came ready to play when the Predators traveled to Long Island. In the First period The Islanders out skated the Predators and in a 0-0 game Matt Martin and Rich Clune dropped the gloves and had a nice scrap. Later in the Period John Tavares netted one on the power play to take the lead. A few minutes later in the period Pierre-Marc Bouchard wrist-ed one in making it 2-0. Kyle Okposo scored as well in the second period and then Predators got a late goal in the third period to make the final score 3-1 Islanders. The big story of the game though is how well Kevin Poulin played. He only allowed 1 goal, while making 33 saves. Playing like that I'd be surprised if he doesn't start in net Thursday against the Kings. Below is a link to Matt Martin's fight and all of the Highlights from the game.
