"The percentage is what it is, but I think there's looks. I would say tonight we had some good possession, we moved it around, we poiked and prodded, but it bounced over a couple of sticks, stuff like that. I don't think we have to reinvent the wheel. We're getting the puck in at will, getting set up, moving the puck well, and we're finding ways to take what the penalty kill is giving us"
"The power play was not as sharp as it was maybe in the other games in a way that our entries were maybe a little too cute, Roy said. We tried to force plays instead of putting the puck deep and getting it. But when we did, we had our looks, and we had our chances. It's just a matter of finding ways to get better shots on net."
New York's power play went 0-for-4 with four shots in a 3-1 loss to Boston, marking the Islanders' second loss in three games since returning from a seven-game road trip. Trailing 2-1 in the third, an errant pass by rookie Matthew Schaefer led to a 2-on-1 that resulted in Alex Steeves' shorthanded goal at 10:21, sealing the game. The Islanders generated possession and movement on the man advantage but failed to convert as passes bounced off sticks and shot quality suffered. Adjustments prioritized simpler entries, deeper puck placement, more traffic, and better finishing around the net.
