""It's a disappointing finish to what was going pretty good for quite a while this year," Anders Lee said. "We put everything we could to making this happen and to pushing ourselves in the playoffs. We faltered in some moments down the stretch here.""
""That was the game," Head Coach Peter DeBoer said of the 55-second stretch. "That's what a good team does to you. They expose you. We didn't make a lot of mistakes defensively tonight. I thought we battled pretty hard, but when we did, they, they capitalized.""
The New York Islanders' playoff hopes ended with a 4-1 defeat against the Montreal Canadiens. This loss marked their sixth in seven games. Anders Lee expressed disappointment, noting the team's efforts to reach the playoffs but acknowledging faltering moments. Casey Cizikas scored the Islanders' only goal, while Ilya Sorokin made 18 saves. The Canadiens scored three goals in 55 seconds, taking control of the game. Despite a push in the third period, the Islanders could not generate enough offense against Jacob Fowler, who made 30 saves.
