Notes :

A close battle in the derby between the two New York clubs. However, the winner (The Islanders) only shot 18 times, compared to 42 for the defeated (Rangers). This means that it was difficult to deceive the vigilance of Thomas Greiss, who was brilliant in front of the “Isles” goals with a .952 save rate, which logically earned him the 1st star of the game. In attack, Josh Bailey opened the scoring and collected two assists. He is the 2nd star of the match. Despite the lack of shots on target, the Islanders scored four times in a row and led 4-0 until the 54th minute. By winning, the “Isles” put an end to a series of three failures, including two against the Rangers. In the standings, they are now 4th, with only three safety points on the bar.

Frank Vatrano achieved a hat trick, but he (mostly) allowed his head coach Joel Quenneville to win on his return to Chicago with the Panthers, 15 months after being fired (see also our news). Before the game, Blackhawks fans gave him a long ovation because he had won the Stanley Cup three times with Chicago. The game went badly for the Hawks, who took three consecutive goals between the 25th and 30th. The replica of the Blackhawks only came in the 34th, by a rookie defender, Kirby dach. But as Vatrano scored soon after 4-1, the Blackhawks’ return was late. Sergei Bobrovsky made 32 saves to stop the Blackhawks, who had won their last five games. In the standings, the Panthers are 6th in the East, while Chicago is 10th in the West.

Supporters of the Blackhawks are far from having forgotten Joel Quenneville ?
