The Vegas Golden Knights (31-17-6) are stuck in a scoring drought– the worst of the season. They’ve scored just seven goals across their past four games, and tonight’s loss to the New York Islanders (25-21-7) marks the second four-game losing streak of the season.

The New York Islanders (25-21-7) defeated the Vegas Golden Knights (31-17-6) 2-1 on Tuesday night in UBS Arena. Brock Nelson scored the game-winning goal with 9:17 in the third period. The game fits the theme Islanders’ Head Coach Patrick Roy set this morning.

The Vegas Golden Knights are looking to get out of a three-game slump as they face the New York Islanders at 4:30 p.m. today. The Golden Knights have faced major challenges from Eastern Conference opponents this season.

The Vegas Golden Knights are losers in four of their last five games and will take on a New York Islanders team that has won seven of their last eight.

The Islanders did Rocky one better. Patrick Roy’s analogy equating his team to the fictional boxer on Tuesday morning made for some good fodder, but it was a little inconvenient that Rocky lost the fight in the 1976 classic.

Their seven-game overall win streak a thing of the past, the New York Islanders got right back to it with a gutsy 2-1 victory over the Vegas Golden Knights, who lost their fourth in a row while the Isles extended a home win streak to six games.
