The New York Islanders (#Isles) suffered a 4-2 loss to the Minnesota Wild (#mnwild), allowing 2 goals in 42 seconds during the third period. The Islanders were on the power play (PP) multiple times but struggled to capitalize. Mayfield was penalized for an illegal hit to the head, and Varlamov was replaced in goal. The Wild's penalty kill (PK) is noted as the worst in the NHL. The Islanders' five-game point streak was snapped, and their struggles in the third period led to an ugly loss. In a separate game against the Boston Bruins, the Islanders tied 1-1 in the first period, with Nelson scoring a power play goal. The Islanders had a slow start but improved late in the frame, with the power play providing momentum.
