![]() ![]() Shortly after the Islanders killed the second power play, Clutterbuck crushed former Islanders draft pick Kyle Burroughs, who has bounced between the AHL and NHL this season. Parise carried the puck and dished to Pageau at the last second, but Demko sprawled out to make the save. Cizikas and Clutterbuck nearly combined for a shorthanded chance, but then Parise and Pageau actually did combine for a shorthanded chance, a two-on-none. ![]() But the Islanders took a too-many-men bench minor to give Vancouver the first power play of the game, which they killed.Īround the middle of the period, Zdeno Chara went to the box for interference. With the score at 5-1, it would make sense that the Canucks started to press-score effects, as they call it. Second Period: Uh-OhĮarly in the second period, with the puck on edge, Oliver Wahlstrom went for the lacrosse-style goal, or “The Michigan.” Unfortunately, the puck rolled off his stick blade before he could complete it. He wound up and let go as Nils Höglander screened Sorokin, who never saw it. There was a little chaos in front of Sorokin, and a rebound popped out to Oliver Ekman-Larsson. The Canucks, finally awake, got one goal back before the end of the period. : ➡️ #NHLonTNT /7vrjslB9b0- NHL February 10, 2022īoudreau gave in and pulled Halak for Thatcher Demko, who played just one night before. ![]() Halak stopped Parise’s first try, but Parise pushed it through. On the next rush down into the Vancouver zone, Noah Dobson cruised behind the goal and found Zach Parise. (I don’t remember off the top of my head if he had a similar meltdown as an Isle.) Halak did not have to make too difficult a save on Martin’s floater, but it wasn’t long before it became clear as to why Halak doesn’t start against his old teams. A lot happened while the game was still on TruTV.įirst, Jean-Gabriel Pageau and Matt Martin escaped on a two-on-none, but Martin could not beat Halak. And you had to flip to TruTV to find it because the Nashville Predators– Dallas Stars game ran a little long. To say that the Islanders got off to a quick start might be underselling it just a little bit. Ilya Sorokin started for the Islanders, while old friend Jaroslav Halak made a rare start against a former team-talk about foreshadowing. “I mean, what are you supposed to do with that?” I wrote during warm-ups, foolishly.
