Islanders cough up lead, fall to Predators in final seconds

ELMONT, N.Y. — Heartbreaker is a cliched term.

But it fits perfectly for the Islanders’ 4-3 loss to the Predators on Thursday night at UBS Arena.

Defenseman Roman Josi’s shot from the left point through traffic after Islanders defenseman Noah Dobson couldn’t clear the puck was deflected in by Eeli Tolvanen with 11.5 seconds left in regulation.
