The 2-1 win, earned despite entering the third period down 1-0, was their first win in the second half of a back-to-back on their tenth and final try.
They're now only a point behind the Detroit Red Wings and the wild card Washington Capitals (who have played one fewer game) and two points behind the third-place Philadelphia Flyers (who have played one more game).
The Isles came back in the third, held onto their lead, and won on the second half of a back-to-back-the inverse Islanders. [LHH]
The Islanders did get the two points they needed from the Flyers game on Monday, but giving them one could come back to haunt them and left a bitter taste in everyone's mouth. [The Athletic]
