Islanders let one get away in loss to Kraken after blowing third-period lead
NY Post
SEATTLE — File this one under wins the Islanders let slip through their fingers.
The Islanders, however, will file it as a win taken from their grasp forcefully, with coach Patrick Roy saying his team “got robbed” after a failed challenge for goaltender interference handed the Kraken a game-winning goal with just over three minutes left in Saturday’s match.
Either way, the 3-2 loss to the Kraken marks the end of a five-game points streak on an afternoon when the Islanders came out looking confident and playing crisp, but failed to finish enough chances in a game they spent much of the 60 minutes looking like the better team.
“I love my team tonight,” said Roy, who spent most of his news conference decrying the no-call on Jamie Oleksiak’s goal at 16:47 of the third period. “We played a strong game. Played a solid road game. I thought we had our chances, I thought we possessed the puck, I thought we defended well.”
