#Isles HC Patrick Roy on his team's decision-making tonight: "We need to be better with that puck. We need to make better decisions. I mean, the fans were pissed. And I was also pissed because I thought that we didn't do a good job."
#Isles HC Patrick Roy said the reason he went back to Lee on the top line was that he didn't see Engvall-Horvat-Barzal clicking and Then tried Barzal with Pageau. "We need to score goals at home..."
#Isles Patrick Roy: "We missed that opportunity. There was no excuse for not playing a better hockey game..."

Isles lose 2-1 shootout to Kraken. Tatar with lone shootout goal.
#Isles end the period with Lee back with Nelson and Palmieri.
Lee-Horvat-Barzal Engvall-Nelson-Palmieri still the case to start second. Roy went back to these midway through the first.
With under 9:00 to play in the first, Roy goes back to: Lee-Horvat-Barzal Engvall-Nelson-Palmieri #Isles
Only lasted a couple of shifts. Lee skated with Barzal and Horvat, then Engvall came on the ice, skated with those two in the D-Zone and rejoined Nelson and Palmieri in the O-Zone
