Islanders 2 Blues 3 (OT)

Isn't this a nice change of pace. It is usually the Blues who find themselves trying to kill off a penalty going into OT. 4 on 3's are deadly as ever, but this time it is Stempniak slaming home the winner.

Two points instead of just one. Very nice, indeed.

The looks like the Blues had some jump tonight, outshooting the Isles 39 to 27. But it took two late goals to send the thing to OT in the first place. This isn't too surprising when you consider the Blues were working three new players into the mix. No points for Boyes, Metropolit or Nieminen, although Boyes was a +1 with three shots on goal.

Good road win. We are still on a roll.
