Anders Lee scored the game-winning goal for the New York Islanders, marking their latest comeback victory over the Panthers. This marks Lee's 14th goal of the season. Veteran winger Jonathan Drouin did not play due to a lower-body injury. Anthony Duclair replaced Druin on a line with Cal Ritchie and Emil Heineman. Backup goalie David Rittich made 29 saves on 33 shots to secure the victory. The team honored Olympic participants on both teams, including forwards Bo Horvat and Ondrej Palat.
