NHL: NY Islanders 2 Anaheim Ducks 3 recap and analysis

1st period

The pace of this period hasn't been the one i expected, the 1st 6 minutes has been controlled by the home team but they have had just 1 chance with Tavares on a angled snap shot that has been stopped by a quick reaction by Andersen. The Ducks created their 1st chance of the game on a puck behind the Neuwirth's net put in front it by Maroon that let Rakell score the 1st goal of the game. The game continue in that way until the Isles tied the game with 3 minutes left on the period thanks to a Visnowski snap shot from the blue line well assisted by Strome.

2nd Period

This period has been very explosive with a Palmieri goal who has been to sweep the rebounding puck into the net, Cizikas had a breakaway chance 1 on 1 but Andersen began a streak of very good stops that didn't allow the home team go tie the game, the Isles got a 2 men advantage PP with 9:44 left in the period but Andersen denied Tavares and Strome in a back to back chances, the traffic in front of the Ducks' goalie continued without any result and again Anaheim punished them with Cogliano on a breakaway back hand goal.

3rd Period

Anaheim ahead by 2 goals controlled the game and continued to concede just few chances and the rhythmim of the offense slew down so much til the Isles with 5:30 left in the period scored a goal with Cizikas that seemed to open up a comeback chance for NY but unfortunately for them they didn't score again even thanks to a very good performance by Andersen.
