End of two #RedWings 3 (Fischer, Copp, Larkin) #Isles 1 (Reilly) Isles up on shots 17-16. Reality is, the Isles have 20 minutes to salvage any chance for this season.

#RedWings and Islanders underway. https://t.co/ZN64ucTgYr
Come on in #Isles https://t.co/wyHU6uTtdO
#Isles HC Patrick Roy is going right back to Ilya Sorokin for wild-card showdown vs. #LGRW tonight @TheHockeyNews https://t.co/WjBj3GtnZn
Patrick Roy, talking about his transparency with lineups, says #Isles fans deserve that.
"The confidence is not where it should be at this moment." #Isles Belief, Resiliency & Playoff Hopes Fading Fast? @TheHockeyNews https://t.co/fdecytuT9q

#Isles after the first period: https://t.co/1UHISCfoHt https://t.co/FCbyeIJflm
Ilya Sorokin in goal for the second. #Isles
#Isles booed off the ice, down 3-0 after the first. Jarvis x 2 Necas One Sorokin definitely wants back. One Sorokin has the ability to save. Would not be shocked if Semyon Varlamov is in goal to start the second.
3-0 CAR with 1.1 seconds to play in the first. Necas snipes to the blocker-side corner. #Isles
Sorokin denies Jarvis of a first-period hat trick with an aggressive save on the PK. Later on, he stops a Necas one-timer. #Isles
Sorokin struggling to track the puck a bit. #Isles
2-0 CAR, Jarvis again. This time off the rush. Four #Isles in the slot, no one takes a stick on a give and go.
2-0 CAR with 5:07 to play in the first as Jarvis scores his second of the game. He cuts to the net, and a few #Isles get caught puck-watching.
Sorokin allows a shot to go through his legs with 7:12 to go in the first, and #Isles are down 1-0. Was there but Jarvis's wrap toward goal goes under his stick.
#Isles fumble a couple of zone exits for the first time tonight and, naturally, it ends up in their net. Jarvis corrals a shot that banked off Pageau and throws it through Sorokin's pads from a bad angle. 1-0 CAR at 12:48

#Isles get first PP at 7:43 with Necas off for holding.
Sorokin sticks away a pass, which helps #Isles break out of their zone.

“The thing about Roy is, in big games, he was at his best. Part of the thing that Roy is saying is he doesn't understand how, in a big game like this, players couldn't be at their best.” #Isles @TheHockeyNews https://t.co/9xdxMyL7oJ
“I saw a team that played better than us today. They managed the puck much better than what we did. They’re very fast in transition. I thought they had more energy than us." Roy's #Isles get outplayed in critical game, fall 5-2 to #NYR @NHLdotcom https://t.co/YzICajjMlo
