UP NEXT Things get a bit tougher for the Panthers as they open a two-game road trip in Toronto on Wednesday, and visit the New York Islanders the next night. Home matches with Washington and Tampa Bay follow. "Well we're back on the road and this victory will help us have the confidence to play in Toronto now, and then we're going to the Island," Keenan said. "It's a big victory for us an |

Jason Wiemer and Claude Lapointe notched third-period goals as New York staved off the desperate Thrashers, who came back from two scores down to tie the game at 3-3. Dave Scatchard, |

One night after getting humiliated, 8-5, by Tampa Bay, Atlanta dropped a 5-4 home decision to the New York Islanders Saturday. Curt Fraser's troops hung in valiantly and came back from a two-goal deficit early in the third, but they couldn't repeat the act later in the stanza when the Isles opened up another two-tally advantage.

| Uniondale, NY (MySportsbook) - Two clubs in search of their first wins clash tonight when the New York Islanders host the Nashville Predators at Nassau Coliseum. New York has dropped decisions to Buffalo and Washington thus far, getting off to the opposite start of last season. In 2001 the Isles used a 9-0-1-1 month of October as a springboard to their first playoff berth since 1994. The Islanders haven't been 0-2 since the 1998-99 season, and they avoided a third straight defeat. The same situation occurred i |
