The New York Islanders were defeated 4-3 by the Chicago Blackhawks at UBS Arena. The loss was largely attributed to a missed call from the team's defense and a series of defensive errors. The team had been trailing 3-1 and had been unable to recover from this loss. The officials admitted to making a mistake during the game. The lack of polish was a significant setback for a team that got back into a playoff spot with a 1-0 shut-out over the Columbus Blue Jackets.
