The New York Islanders (Isles) ended their seven-game losing streak with a 5-4 shootout win over the Calgary Flames. Oliver Wahlstrom scored the decisive shootout goal in the fourth round. Hudson Fasching, who had a slow start, played a key role in the game, contributing a goal to tie the game at 1-1 in the first period. The win halted the Isles' mediocre start to the season, bringing their record to 6-6-5. Ilya Sorokin also had a bounce-back effort, contributing to the team's return to winning ways.

“He’s a headsy hockey player who sees the play well, protects the puck down low, and scored a huge goal for us..." #Isles have seen the Hudson Fasching of last year over the last two games @TheHockeyNews https://t.co/gp8FRbSPGP https://t.co/gp8FRbSPGP
A win is a win for the #Isles, but a lot more needs to be discussed as we dive below the surface tonight on @hockeynightny.

Hudson Fasching was a spark plug last spring for the #Isles earning himself a 2-year extension. After a slow start to his 2023-24 campaign, Fasching has been the player the Islanders have needed him to be over his last two games. https://t.co/gp8FRbSPGP https://t.co/gp8FRbSPGP
"W is for Wonderful; as in the New York Islanders over the Calgary Flames -- 5-4 -- enabling them to shake the blues away and take on the surprisingly sizzling Flyers on Wednesday at UBS Arena." More from @StanFischler #Isles https://t.co/NF0U027m0G https://t.co/NF0U027m0G
#Isles Hudson Fasching played a team-low 11:13 minutes in their 5-4 shootout win over the #Flames on Saturday. He had a key goal to tie the game at 1-1 in the first. I wonder if he'll get some PK time going forward, something he's played at every stop of his career.
