Kyle Palmieri’s OT winner lifts Islanders over Penguins in Game 1
NY Post
One of the most evenly matched series of the NHL playoffs did not disappoint in Game 1.
In a match of the Penguins’ speed against the Islanders’ structure, the Islanders prevailed when Kyle Palmieri’s second goal of the afternoon gave them a 4-3 overtime victory Sunday at PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh. Head coach Barry Trotz wanted Palmieri, the team’s trade-deadline acquisition from the Devils, to take on a bigger role in the playoffs — and the winger delivered, scoring the first and final tallies of the series opener.
The Mets have subtracted a fourth member from their core.
It’s a simple formula, a winning formula:
The Islanders’ injuries have at least made one part of Mathieu Darche’s pending job easier: It’s not hard to discern what his needs are in the trade market.
The Mets–Yankees pipeline remains strong this offseason.
The Chiefs may be down another quarterback.
Draymond Green got tossed again, but this time, he has a point.
Andy Reid isn’t going anywhere.
The Yankees are bringing back another swingman.
It is not about any one thing.
The Rangers have another injury worry on their hands.
The loudest ovation of Friday night’s 116-107 loss to the 76ers had nothing to do with the Knicks’ pregame celebration for winning the NBA Cup.
Tyler Shough isn’t just a quarterback that the Jets let get away.
