The Skinny: Isles 3, Ottawa 2 (shootout - evening game)

The Isles completed a sweep of the day-night doubleheader with a come-from-behind 3-2 win over Ottawa in St. John's Newfoundland.

Cal Clutterbuck's 5th round shootout goal proved to be the decisive tally, making a winner of Kevin Poulin (in relief of Jaroslav Halak).

Newly-acquired Mikhail Grabovski had a goal and an assist for the Isles.  Josh Bailey scored the tying goal late in the second period and also scored in the 4th round of the shootout.

		NYISkinny: Eric Hornick's Blog: The Skinny: Isles 3, Ottawa 2 (afternoon game) Okay, you'll have to wait about 2 1/2 weeks for the real thing, but the Isles did win the matinee with the Sens 3-2.  Game 2 at 6pm ET.  Ottawa radio is carrying both games with Dean Brown called pbp.  Pre-game show for game 2 essentially began when game 1 ended (I'm not kidding).
