It's really frustrating and disappointing right now, defenseman Noah Dobson said. It definitely stings. We played, overall, a pretty solid game The time of year, the margin for error is so small and we just have to find a way to get those goals back and bear down.
In relief, Semyon Varlamov stopped all eight shots he faced, but it wasn't enough as the Islanders could not take a page out of Carolina's book to complete a comeback.
We win and we lose as a team, Roy said when asked about his decision to pull Sorokin. I'm not going to go there but what I'm going to ay is we sometimes make changes as a coach because we feel we just want to change the momentum of the game. I'll leave it at that.
