In Tuesday night's 5-2 win against the Colorado Avalanche, New York Islanders rookie defenseman Isaiah George had a tough night. George was on the ice for the Avalanche's first goal, with the shifty veteran Nathan MacKinnon making a strong play to get the puck around his body to find Artturi Lehkonen:

After a string of wins and impressive performances, the New York Islanders now find themselves just four points back of a Wild Card spot in the Eastern Conference.

The 5-10, 175-pound Perunovich logged 18:52 and was a plus-2 with two shots, earning enough of Roy’s trust to play key shifts in the third period.

It was DeAngelo's first point in two games since joining the Islanders following a KHL stint, and while the Isles didn't get a power-play opportunity Tuesday, he should see a heavy workload with the man advantage as long as Noah Dobson (lower body) and Ryan Pulock (upper body) are on the shelf.

A year ago, it was a Nov. 24 match in Ottawa that immutably changed the season for the Islanders, when Adam Pelech and Sebastian Aho both got hurt, trimming the Isles down to four defenseman for an eventual win over the Senators.

If there was any chance of saving their season and avoiding being sellers at the trade deadline, the Islanders had to use this seven-game homestand to make some kind of statement. And as the two weeks at home wrapped up against the Avalanche on Tuesday night,

Out of nowhere, despite the injury crisis, the New York Islanders are red-hot. Four different goal scorers would contribute tonight against the Colorado Avalanche, and both of the new blueliners, Tony DeAngelo and Scott Perunovich,

Simon Holmstrom scored twice in the third period Tuesday night for the surging New York Islanders, who extended their season-best winning streak to five games with a 5-2 victory over the Colorado Avalanche in Elmont,
