The New York Islanders absorbed early Penguins pressure, shot high on Tristan Jarry, survived an otherworldly tip and a third-period deficit, shot high on Tristan Jarry, blew a likely game-winner 31 seconds after scoring it, then shot high on Tristan Jarry to win Game 1 against the Pittsburgh Penguins in overtime.
Fun fact: It’s Pittsburgh’s 10th loss in its last 11 playoff games.
The highlights went to OT game-winner Kyle Palmieri, who also opened playoff scoring as a satisfaction-deferred trade deadline acquisition like J-G Pageau before him, and Ilya Sorokin, who stretched in ways that injure lesser goalies.
