The Islanders should not beat themselves up too badly. After all, no one has had their way with the Devils recently.
Brian Rolston fired home the game-winner in the sixth round of the shootout in a 3-2 win over the Islanders yesterday. Blake Comeau’s tally forced the game into overtime with 3:42 left in the third, but the Devils still improved to 20-2-2 in their last 24 games.
