Islanders fortunate to sneak off with point in overtime loss to Oilers

The Islanders suffered a 4-3 overtime loss to the Oilers on Draisaitl’s game-winner in Edmonton.

The Islanders had a pleasant surprise of a three-game stretch heading into this road trip by netting five of six points and generally playing well despite a crushing set of injuries, but that challenge was nothing like the one they faced on Tuesday night in Edmonton.

In fact, the Islanders weren’t going to get through them at all, suffering a 4-3 overtime loss on Draisaitl’s game-winner.Rangers vs. Jets, Islanders vs. Oilers predictions: NHL best bets, picks, odds TuesdayReally, the point the Islanders got by virtue of a late rally flattered them after a night spent largely in their own zone.

Thanks in no small measure to the goalie, the Islanders came into the final period with a chance to steal this one after Kyle Palmieri tied the game at one off Max Tsyplakov’s feed 15:58 into the second period. On the other side of the break, it took McDavid just 36 seconds to find Draisaitl for a one-timer to get on the board for a 1-0 lead.
