Isles end skid with epic shootout win
Leddy’s Game-Winner Secures New York’s First Road Victory
Round after round, shot after shot, Thomas Greiss stood his ground.
The Islanders’ goaltender made 39 saves in regulation and overtime and another 10 during a marathon shootout Tuesday night at Anaheim’s Honda Center, notching a well-deserved win when defenseman Nick Leddy scored in the 14th round of the NHL’s game-deciding skills competition to give New York a much-needed 3-2 triumph over the Ducks.
“It was long,” Greiss readily admitted after helping the Islanders snap a season-high four-game losing streak and notch their first road win in six tries this year.
