Isles’ historic streak ends in Anaheim
Blanked 3-0 by Ducks after picking up points in 17 straight games
The New York Islanders’ first regulation loss in a month and a half didn’t go down very well for Head Coach Barry Trotz.
“We got the result we deserved, I didn’t think we deserved to win this game,” the reigning Jack Adams Award winner as the NHL’s Coach of the Year lamented after the Isles had a franchise-record 17-game points streak snapped in Monday night’s 3-0 loss at Anaheim.
“We weren’t willing to commit enough in the second and third (periods),” Trotz added. “We had one scoring chance, maybe, in the third and maybe one or two in the second. Not good enough. The bottom line was that they were more committed than we were.”
