00:09New York's taken back-to-back games
00:11in this ongoing grudge match.
00:14True-ass playmaking was complemented nicely
00:16with all the physicality the last time they met.
00:19Struble's physicality and ability to clog lanes
00:21was a difference maker in the last encounter.
00:24Two great stars and two teams that hate each other,
00:27and it goes down next.
00:31And we are about set to drop the puck on this one.
00:38The Aroboos have won the draw, and we are now underway.
00:42Big hit, and that frees up possession.
00:45Can't maintain possession.
00:48Handles the puck.
00:50Moves it over to Struble.
00:52Heads the puck over.
00:54That's easily turned aside.
00:57In front, and a stoppage on the play as the goaltender covers things up.
01:02New York's first half of the season was excellent, James.
01:05They're exactly where they wanted to be.
01:07If you could have written it up at the beginning of the year,
01:09this is where they would have said they wanted to be.
01:11Now it's about pushing and elevating,
01:13because you know it gets harder,
01:15and the veterans certainly know it,
01:16so they'll have to lead by example and push this team down the stretch.
01:23Still plenty of time left in this frame.
01:25The game is still scoreless.
01:29Puck is dropped, and he wins the draw here in the defensive zone.
01:34Loses the coverage there.
01:39And that's intercepted by Smith.
01:42St. Petersburg's got him along the wall.
01:49Here's a short pass to Struble.
01:52Takes the feed at the point.
01:55Quick feed to Struble.
01:57Denails him!
01:59A player should never be left alone in the slot,
02:01but man, is the goaltender to task here.
02:03Gets out in front of it and makes the save.
02:05And a great seed!
02:07In front of the net,
02:09and the goaltender covers up for a whistle on the play.
02:20St. Petersburg's got possession here at their own end.
02:23And now he moves it quickly to Obey Pavelle.
02:26You've got to figure he knows about this next milestone.
02:29He's only one board away.
02:31Lee's got the puck in his own zone.
02:33And that plays left side.
02:35We've got a face-off coming up.
02:45Four-backs, quick stick, lands from the puck here at center.
02:48And now he passes it to Tuck.
02:51From the left side, it moves to the middle of the ice.
02:54Turns it to the line!
02:58Moves it to Lee.
02:59Here's the shot.
03:01Takes that one right in the logo.
03:04Grabbed along the boards by Pallott.
03:06Morozik's made a really nice save,
03:08and that's an important one after getting blown out last game.
03:13New York's got possession to the puck.
03:16Moves the country over to a four-back.
03:18Oh, look at this!
03:20Here they come!
03:20They've got numbers!
03:22Huge play in his own end to come up with the puck.
03:25Quick pass to Pallott.
03:29And he takes the feed.
03:31Tuck's got it in the defensive end.
03:35Inside his own end moves the puck.
03:41Moves it in front!
03:42Great defensive play to pick off the pass.
03:47Keating steam here on the attack.
03:49Oh, a clutch save!
03:52Stooped up along the wall by Kaepernick.
03:55Shakes off to the corner with some nifty moves.
03:59Cuts grab by Romanov.
04:02Sends it into the offensive zone.
04:05St. Petersburg's got a hold of it along the wall.
04:11Here's a short pass to Engvall.
04:13And he keeps that one out.
04:15Passes over to Barron.
04:18Here's a chance to make something happen inside the neutral zone.
04:21And here's the save on the play!
04:24Dishes it to Palmieri.
04:26St. Petersburg's gained possession along the boards.
04:33And now it's grabbed by Hullock.
04:35Quick feed to Romanov.
04:38The Islanders take it along the wall.
04:41The Bears gain possession in their own end.
04:45Into the offensive end, right up the middle.
04:52Back to the blue line.
04:54And he takes the feed.
04:57Feeds it over!
04:59Takes the puck.
05:01Takes the shot!
05:03Just gets his mid on that one.
05:06We got a whistle, penalty coming up.
05:10Hurts his pick on the player has resulted in an interference penalty.
05:14Running interference is part of the game, but guess what?
05:16You've got to be smart about it.
05:18You have to allow your opponent to move freely to find that puck
05:21and get in the way a little bit.
05:23But too much, you're going to get the interference call.
05:28The first penalty kill of the game for this group here.
05:30You know, their puck is so great for the bottom of the league,
05:33but this group's got a lot of confidence and a lot of energy.
05:36They just might be able to shut down this power game.
05:39Trying to come up with a huge defensive play
05:41to get this puck out of his own end.
05:43It's good!
05:45He's going to put the man in the punch,
05:47and they make it's late.
05:52You've definitely got to be aware when he's on the ice
05:54because you know he's coming,
05:55and you know he's going to lay out a huge hit
05:57to separate you from that puck.
05:59So you've got to be ready.
06:00With that turnover, although he's not getting credited with the puck,
06:03he is the reason the puck winds up on his team's stick,
06:07and the goal is a result.
06:25Especially teams are such a critical part of the game.
06:28You spend so much time on them,
06:29and the coach recognizes that the efforts are being rewarded,
06:32and you can see the smile on his face as they come back to the bench.
06:35Well, partner, it was only a matter of time
06:38before you-know-who got on the score sheet.
06:40Yeah, it's almost like when the lights are the brightest
06:41against this team that he finds a way to get it done.
06:44I mean, just look at the stat sheet.
06:45I mean, he's a perfect game player in this series,
06:47and he's a massive contributor for his team.
06:50Big double on the boards.
06:51The Islanders have it behind the cage.
06:54Puck picked up by Puck.
06:56Avoids the poke check and maintain his position.
06:59Slides and it drops.
07:01There's the whistle as the goalie hangs on.
07:04Lee's been lighting the lamp with this point streak,
07:06playing so calm, and he knows where he is on the ice,
07:09and it just seems that every time it makes its way towards the net,
07:12the puck's going in.
07:15Garzell's got the puck, and they'll go on the attack.
07:18Heringus clock on the play.
07:20Well, and the bench really erupts on that one,
07:22because otherwise it would have been in the back of the net.
07:24And Colts on the offside.
07:26We're going to face off.
07:30Past the midway mark of the frame.
07:331-0 is where we sit at this point.
07:37Carrick's gained possession inside the neutral zone.
07:40Feeds it to Burrows.
07:44The Islanders get a hold of the puck in their own end.
07:47St. Petersburg's trying to make something happen in the offensive zone.
07:51Moose it to Drewin.
07:53And he dodges the poke check there.
07:56Easy pass saved made by Morazic.
07:59Moose it quickly over to Oban Kubeil.
08:03Palac lugging the puck.
08:05Here they come through center and into the offensive end.
08:10Slides it back to the blue line.
08:12Carvers one.
08:14Good eyes upon the play.
08:15And the puck's booted away.
08:18And a heads-up kick pass over to his teammate.
08:22The Bears can control the puck against the wall.
08:26Can't keep a hold of it after that hit.
08:29Quick pass across to Horvath.
08:33And he takes the pass.
08:35Taken by Pulido.
08:38Gets it over to Horvath.
08:40Quick pass to Horvath.
08:41Good one is about to say.
08:44Takes the feed from the left side.
08:50The Islanders will play the puck from the back of the net.
08:54Angus it over to Puck.
08:56Slides the puck across to Horvath.
08:58Intercepted.
09:01Moves the puck into the attacking area.
09:04Moves it to the middle.
09:06Off a stick and they can't complete the play.
09:10St. Petersburg's game possession.
09:13Puck battle along the boards.
09:16And some good footwork to kick it away.
09:20Picked up along the wall by Pellick.
09:23Nice zone entry from the right side.
09:26Takes a couple of knocks and loses control.
09:29St. Petersburg's got the puck.
09:33Puck said down the ice, we'll get an icing.
09:40More than half the frame has been played here.
09:43We've got a 1-0 hockey game thus far.
09:49Stenland's won it in their own end.
09:52Huge win by the center to give his team an opportunity to get out of the zone after a critical
09:56icing.
09:57Here's a shot. Gets in front of it.
10:01Moves the puck.
10:03New York's moving it along the wing.
10:07Big play inside the defensive zone.
10:10We got a whistle as the puck's frozen.
10:17Getting into the later stages of this period.
10:19New York's ahead, 1-0.
10:25St. Petersburg's got the win off that draw.
10:31Here's a short pass to Pahal.
10:34They've got numbers here.
10:39Passes it over.
10:41Dishes it off.
10:43Takes the feet at the back end.
10:46Along the half wall with the puck.
10:48Blocked in traffic.
10:50New York's got a hold of it against the wall.
10:52And now it's over to Palmieri.
10:56St. Petersburg's got the puck in their own end.
10:59From the point.
11:00Looks to make something happen.
11:02The Islanders take over on possession.
11:07Takes the feed.
11:09Turned aside by Barazic.
11:11Great positioning by the goaltender to redirect it to the corner.
11:14Getting it out of danger.
11:18The Islanders have a hold of it in the defensive zone.
11:22Taken along the wall by Lee.
11:26And here at center, that's intercepted.
11:29St. Petersburg's been disrupting play all night long.
11:32And this is because of their stick position.
11:34You have to find ways to be aware and anticipate where that puck is going to be going.
11:38Doing a great job, but this is still a close one.
11:41We've got to find a way to generate some offense.
11:44Looks to get the puck over to Holland.
11:46Shot!
11:47It's a save.
11:48Cool and calm under pressure.
11:51From the left side, he moves it up ahead.
11:55Feeds it over.
11:56New York's got control of it now from their own end.
11:59And a good use of the body to knock the puck loose.
12:03There's the whistle as the play was offside.
12:06Well, it's a close game and you need a shot in the arm sometimes.
12:09And the best way to do that is to physically engage.
12:11And the response to that hit, you just have a look at the bench and you know that the team
12:15is bumped.
12:16New York's coaches wanted a lot of shots on net.
12:18And the team has delivered so far, leading late in the first.
12:24The Islanders win it.
12:27Gaining momentum along the wing.
12:29Takes the pass on the left wing.
12:32Takes the pass on the left wing.
12:39Takes the shot.
12:42That's it for period number one.
12:44Second period action coming up in moments here on EA Sports.
12:48The Islanders win it.
12:50The Islanders win it.
12:54The Islanders win it.
18:51St. Petersburg's been working hard and they're still in a game.
18:54Yes, they hit the pipe and it went out, but they're still in a game.
18:57They have to fight right to the end.
18:59There's the whistle as the net comes off.
19:03Both teams ready, both teams, and they're still in a game.
19:11New York's won the face-off deep in their own end.
19:14Takes the fan, takes the fan, takes the fan, and they're in the end, and they're in the end of
19:19the game.
19:21You have to be quick in your crease if you want to be able to deny low zone shots.
19:27He does that perfectly as he's tight.
20:02They're in the end of the way, and they're in the end of the field, and they're still in the
20:27game.
20:27grandfathers and grandmothers were holding theirs closely, too.
20:32So, good night.
20:33Tease it up for the blue line.
20:35Big time stop there.
20:38Redirected off one of his own linemen's there.
20:41Alex Dickhandle in his own zone.
20:44Kick pass to Drewin.
20:47Takes the feed.
20:49Getting a little too physical to maintain possession.
20:53Barron's moving the puck through his own zone.
20:57The Bears looking against the half wall.
21:05Tease it up.
21:09DeAngelo's working it around in the corner.
21:11New York's got the puck along the wall.
21:14Down the right wing and into the offensive zone.
21:17Puck grabbed by Kapanen.
21:20Picking up momentum inside the neutral zone.
21:23The Bears carried along the wall.
21:26Deeds it over.
21:27And a nice takeaway in the defensive end by Barzell.
21:31Handles the puck from the left side.
21:33Denied by Mrazik.
21:35And the puck stopper jumps on top of it to get a stoppage in play.
21:41Still lots of time left in the period.
21:44New York's up one step.
21:50St. Petersburg's gonna start with the puck in their own end.
21:54Receives the pass.
21:58Oh, just a great heads-up play by Schaefer.
22:03Right up the gun into the offensive end.
22:07Right in the left side.
22:09That's blocked by Mrazik.
22:10Well, this is just a great save from the slot area.
22:14I mean, he recognizes where that puck's going.
22:16He gives the top of the net, but he takes it away.
22:19The Islanders are checking all the boxes tonight.
22:22More shots, more goals, and they lead in the second.
22:25New York won the draw.
22:27Blocked, and he may have just stopped a goal.
22:29I think he did, James.
22:30I mean, you gotta protect the house,
22:32especially when it's a great threat shot like that,
22:34and he finds a way to get in front of that end quick.
22:37St. Petersburg's got the puck.
22:40New York's looking to break out of their own end.
22:43And now it's grabbed by Vorbach.
22:46Down the left wing, across into the offensive end.
22:49Comes up with a stop.
22:51Picked up along the wall by Vorbach.
22:53St. Petersburg's got control of the puck.
22:56The Islanders gotta work on offense.
22:59Puck picked up by Vorbach.
23:01Great positioning in the defensive end.
23:03The Bears are in a tight game.
23:05They gotta start making good on all those interceptions
23:08where they've been great spots
23:09and finding ways to get the puck.
23:11Doing a great job defensively,
23:12but they've gotta convert.
23:14Here's a chance.
23:16St. Petersburg's got the puck inside the defensive zone.
23:20Lead pass ahead.
23:23Here's a chance to the middle.
23:25And that goes off a stick.
23:27Gage control of the puck here on the line.
23:30Quick feed to Pahol.
23:34St. Petersburg's at the back end.
23:37Both in front.
23:39Face-off coming up as the puck goes up and over the glass.
23:43This crowd tonight, I mean, every night here,
23:46they are just on fire with another sellout.
23:48They're on fire.
23:49James, I like the way you said that.
23:51A little high pitch because why?
23:53Everyone in here is high-pitched because they're winning
23:55and they're being successful.
23:57You can see it by the number of jerseys that have been bought
23:59and they're being worn,
24:00and that's when you know that they're cheering on their star players.
24:04St. Petersburg's looking to break out.
24:06Here's a short pass to O'Brien.
24:09To his teammates.
24:11They score!
24:12And we're all tied up.
24:14Yeah, we are, James.
24:15And you can certainly feel them coming, couldn't you?
24:17I mean, the energy was starting to shift,
24:19and they get rewarded with that goal.
24:21James, when you enter the offensive zone
24:23and you have numbers and you have speed,
24:25you keep your opponent guessing.
24:27They have to communicate extremely well
24:29if they want to stop you,
24:30and in this case, they couldn't.
24:50More than half the period has expired.
24:52The next goal could be a big one as we are tied.
25:02St. Petersburg's won the draw in the neutral zone.
25:04And now he tries to get it across to Stenland.
25:08Gray heads up, culling the defensive zone.
25:12Takes the pass.
25:16Handles the pass at center.
25:18Lays into the body.
25:20Works it across to D'Angelo.
25:25Paula's stick breaks,
25:26and he's logged it back to the bench
25:28and gets a new one.
25:29Now he gets back into the play quickly.
25:32All alone!
25:33What a save on the play!
25:35That's a timely save,
25:36and it's going to generate a ton of momentum
25:37for his team here,
25:38but he's so composed, he's patient,
25:40and just steers the puck aside.
25:45Taken by Foligno.
25:47And there's a shot!
25:49Oh, and he stopped out!
25:51What a save by Brasic!
25:53New York's got possession
25:54here in the offensive zone.
25:57Moussa to Barrett!
26:00St. Petersburg's got the puck in the corner!
26:03The Bears gain possession,
26:04and that's a smart heads-up play by Schaefer.
26:08The Islanders have it from their own end.
26:11Tosses it on to Palmieri!
26:14The Bears take possession
26:15on the neutral zone.
26:17Moussa quickly over to Glenn Denny.
26:19Oh, what a save in front!
26:22It's amazing to me how he always looks like
26:23he's in the right position
26:25because he traps and reads the play so well,
26:27and this time he gets in front of the puck
26:28that's right in the middle of the ice
26:30as the shooter's got a dangerous opportunity.
26:32From the right side,
26:33he goes to the middle of the neutral zone.
26:39He grabs the puck here at the fourth.
26:41And that's a great heads-up play by Schaefer.
26:45Sneaks by the puck check.
26:52St. Petersburg's got the puck in their own end.
26:55Tries to feed it over to Sezikis.
26:59And that skips away
27:00on a nice defensive deflection.
27:02Right away!
27:04And what happened there, partner?
27:06Well, I think sometimes when you have time
27:07and you're trying to process,
27:09you're taking a little bit too much time,
27:11and I don't think there was the confidence, right?
27:12The confidence to know exactly what he wanted to do,
27:15and in the process, he flubbed it.
27:29Just here in the late stages of this frame,
27:31we got a tie game.
27:38They win the face-off here in the road
27:40and they take possession.
27:42And he loses control here.
27:46Handles the puck on the point.
27:49Nearing the point.
27:51And the legs flying from blocking that.
27:55Picked up along the boards by Palmieri.
27:59St. Petersburg's got the puck.
28:01And the middle frame almost done.
28:04Quick pass to Bear.
28:08And the puck skips away after that move.
28:11Oh, I know what he was trying to do there, James.
28:13He thought he had it with that move,
28:15but he created some space for himself,
28:17but unfortunately loses the handle
28:18and he dies on the stick.
28:20And it's a solid save on the plate there.
28:22As a defender, you love when your goaltender
28:25has this kind of rebound control.
28:26It makes your life so much easier.
28:28Let's go!
28:29Sends a pass over.
28:3740 minutes down,
28:38still another 20 to go here in this one.
28:41Join us for period number three next.
28:49The rolling embedded object
28:51is grounds for immediate removal
28:53from this building.
38:24St. Petersburg's got possession of the puck.
38:30Pisses it over.
38:32And we get a whistle as the goaltender decides to hang on to this one.
38:39Just moments away from the resumption of this power play.
38:42They're ready to drop the puck here for this faceoff.
38:47And they win the offensive zone faceoff.
38:49And here we go.
38:51Looking to make something happen in the offensive zone.
38:57Moussa quickly over to Burlands.
39:02Here comes it.
39:03What an opportunity.
39:04Just climbed over the net there.
39:06I thought this in.
39:07Well, I thought it was in as well, James.
39:09Now, he is all around the puck doing all of the details and habits right.
39:13He's going to cash in at some point.
39:16Schaefer's penalty is almost expired.
39:19The Irons move the puck in the defensive zone.
39:22New York's penalty killers just over.
39:24Pat on the back as we are still tied.
39:27That's a great job by this PK unit.
39:29James creating some dimension for their team
39:31and getting out of it without getting scored on.
39:33And this is critical given that it's a tie game.
39:36Feeds the puck to Mayfield.
39:40Backtracks with possession back inside the defensive zone.
39:43Oh, look at this.
39:45Dishes it off.
39:48Quick pass over to Gwen Denning.
39:52New York's game possession along the boards.
39:56Puck moved over to Lee.
39:58Oh, and tracks it perfectly in the offensive end.
40:01Storms up with the blocker.
40:03Slides it diagonally to Mayfield.
40:07There's the whistle as the puck goes out of play.
40:14More than half the period left to play.
40:17It's all tied up.
40:23New York's won the draw.
40:24Dished on over to Tuck.
40:28St. Petersburg's got the puck here on the open ice.
40:33Stooped up along the wall by Vorvat.
40:40The Islanders take possession in the defensive end.
40:44Here they come up along the wing.
40:47Slides it across to Stedlin.
40:49St. Petersburg's got the puck against the half wall.
40:52Score!
40:54That's the go-ahead goal!
40:56Well, the game is all about timing here, James.
40:59And now they're in front, so these next few shifts are critical.
41:01They want to play with a ton of energy and keep their opponent guessing.
41:06No surprise there that another one goes in for him.
41:08I mean, he's the team's leading goal scorer.
41:10And everyone relies on him to really set the tone and put it in the net.
41:14A reason why they're successful.
41:30The Bears have jumped out to that critical one-goal lead here at this stage of the game, Cheryl.
41:35Yeah, and what a stage of the game it is.
41:38Less than ten minutes to play in this game.
41:39You're up by one.
41:40Now you have to defend it.
41:42But you don't want to get too defensive because you still have to attack.
41:45There is some time left.
41:46And they cough it up at the neutral zone.
41:49St. Petersburg's got the puck along the wall.
41:52Through the neutral zone and along the boards.
41:54Here they come.
41:57Picked up along the way by Barron.
42:00Quick pass to Kapanen.
42:05Handles the puck.
42:06Score!
42:07So look who's at it again!
42:10It's the second of the game.
42:11Too bad you can't bottle these games up and just recall them whenever you want
42:14because he's been all around the net.
42:17Well, two things need to happen to execute a one-timer perfectly.
42:21You have to have the pass and you have to have the time.
42:23You can't be over-anxious.
42:24That's the first thing.
42:25And second thing, you can't over-rotee.
42:27He's perfect with both and he finds the back of the net.
42:42You can certainly tell that the coach is not happy behind the bench after that last goal.
42:46He will be preaching good habits and details.
42:49He doesn't like it right now.
42:53St. Petersburg's in the driver's seat now up by two in this third period.
42:57Well, yeah, and it's been a consistent effort from start to finish here, James.
43:01Now they've got to make sure that they play this last little bit the same way they started.
43:04Aggressive on the puck, but be cautious when they need to.
43:08Sometimes the simple play is the effective one.
43:11The Islanders gain control of the puck against the wall.
43:15St. Petersburg's got possession at center.
43:17Go, go, go, go.
43:22New York's got the puck along the boards.
43:25Quick pass across to Romano.
43:27The Bears going to work on offense.
43:31The Islanders get a hold of the puck in their own end.
43:35New York's got it in their own zone.
43:38Angus and Andrews are drooling.
43:40And he sidesteps the kick there.
43:42St. Petersburg's got control of the puck.
43:48Heads it over.
43:51The Bears gain control of the puck.
43:54Great save.
43:56Tries to get the puck off to Palmieri.
44:01Fires it.
44:02Takes it right in the chest.
44:04And we're going to get a stoppage here as the referee blows the play dead.
44:08The Islanders hit the road for their next game as they open up a road trip
44:12and had a chance to talk to a few fans here in the arena tonight.
44:15And they said they're making the trip, so that should be fun.
44:20And Bryan's won the faceoff.
44:23Pushes it across to Smith.
44:25And he cuts it up with the pass.
44:27And with a great save.
44:29Scores.
44:30Clear back the possession to bury the rebound.
44:41This is a tough goal for the goaltender as he's all over the map here swimming in his crease.
44:46Can't find the puck and the puck goes in.
45:08So with the assist he extends the point streak in these head-to-head matchups.
45:11I think even as a kid you just like playing certain teams. Don't you agree?
45:15I do agree, James.
45:17And I never really got the pointos but love playing the Americans on the other side of the puck.
45:21But yeah, look at this point streak.
45:23It really is impressive to do it with all the emotion that's attached to the game.
45:27But listen, it comes in forms of goals and also beauty plays like that.
45:33Here's a chance.
45:34And no one's denied.
45:37This is a great reactive save.
45:38I mean, he sees the puck at the last second and is able to get his body in front of
45:42it.
45:42That is tough, not easy to do.
45:44He found it and he made the save.
45:47Puck grabbed by Pulak.
45:49And now he moves into a format.
45:51Oh, look at this chance.
45:54The Bears have it from their own end.
45:56And tries to make a diagonal pass to Pulak.
46:00The Bears played along the way.
46:02No use of the body to knock him off the puck.
46:05Toss it up on the play.
46:07And the puck departs the zone.
46:11Great burst of speed to come up with it.
46:16New York's got a hold of the puck now.
46:19And that pass attempt is deflected.
46:21The Islanders have a hold of it in the defense and zone.
46:24And now it's grabbed by Pulak.
46:26Toss it off to Horvath.
46:29Nice zone entry on the left side.
46:31Dunch the puck in.
46:33The Bears scoop it up along the boards.
46:41St. Petersburg's got the puck.
46:43The Bears have played from the defensive zone.
46:48Now a quick pass to the zone.
46:50Huge steal in his own end.
46:53Oh, he forced the turnover.
46:55And the puck skips off the clock.
46:58Barzell is taking it from his own end.
47:04While you're leading late in the game, you've got to find a way to kill the clock.
47:07You know what the best thing is to do?
47:08Make sure it's not in your zone.
47:10That takes the pressure off.
47:11And that's a smart dump right there.
47:12Here in the late going to the frame.
47:15The Bears are giving their fans something to cheer about as they lead it 3-2.
47:20Slides it across.
47:21Beats the goalie but can't beat the post.
47:24The Islanders bench showing some frustration there as they hit the post.
47:28Listen, you're only down in the game by a little bit.
47:31You have to find your way to find your way back in.
47:33But there's a perfect chance right there to give them some momentum.
47:36Oh, and a miss Flyers.
47:38That goes right out of the zone.
47:40Puck picked up by Pahal.
47:43Moves it over to Kapanen.
47:45Takes a shot.
47:46And leaves the save with ease.
47:49St. Petersburg's got possession of the puck.
47:54The Islanders gain possession in their own end.
47:58Oh, and some smooth skating to lose the defender there.
48:01Turns it aside with the glove.
48:03The Islanders really need a go here.
48:05They pull the goal here.
48:06The extra attacker's out.
48:08Gains the zone on the left wing.
48:10To the empty net.
48:12The Islanders have it now.
48:14And they keep the pressure on.
48:18Puts it on there.
48:19Turned aside with the glove by Mrazek.
48:22There's the whistle.
48:23They get a face-off after the goalie covers up.
48:27A critical face-off lose here.
48:30And the extra attacker is on the ice, James.
48:32So much pressure on the center to win this draw.
48:34And they win the face-off and set up to go on the attack.
48:38Ref blows the whistle as the puck's covered up.
48:41Go!
48:42Go!
48:43Go!
48:44Go!
48:45Go!
48:45Go!
48:46Go!
48:46Go!
48:46Go!
48:47Go!
48:48Go!
48:56Go!
48:58Go!
48:59You.
49:02Well, if there was ever a team that needed a win, it was this one tonight.
49:07Yeah, and they played to their strengths finally, James.
49:10and it was a full 60 and it was consistent.
49:12It's a reason they got the W, but now they're going to have to layer it
49:15and find ways to build energy and momentum off of this win.
49:18The streak finally ends.
49:20Hope everyone had as much fun as we did here tonight.
49:23For all of us at EA Sports, I'm James Cebulski saying peace.
