Starting a crucial stretch of nine of 10 games at Nassau Coliseum, the Islanders beat the Sabres, 3-2, on Monday night to snap a two-game losing streak. Four of those home games will be against the East Division-trailing Sabres.
It wasn’t a pretty or perfect effort. But the Islanders still have gotten at least a point in every home game.
Jean-Gabriel Pageau scored the winner on a power play at 15:08 of the third period, backhanding in the rebound of rookie Oliver Wahlstrom’s heavy slap shot from the top of the left circle.
