""It was tight," captain Anders Lee said. "I don't think they were getting many quality shots either... we didn't capitalize on our power plays.""
""It doesn't feel great right now, but we're still alive," DeBoer said. "We have to win our last two games. Our season didn't end tonight.""
The New York Islanders suffered a 3-0 defeat against the Ottawa Senators, severely jeopardizing their playoff chances. With only two games left, the Islanders have lost five of their last six matches. A short-handed goal by Ridly Greig marked the beginning of their struggles, as they failed to capitalize on five power play opportunities. Despite Ilya Sorokin's 13 saves, the lack of offensive production proved detrimental. New head coach Peter DeBoer acknowledged the team's precarious situation but emphasized the need to win their final two games.
