13 years ago
tonight (2001) – Chris Osgood made 24 saves and Eric Cairns scored the winning
goal as the Islanders delighted a Black Friday crowd with a 3-1 victory over
the Toronto Maple Leafs. The win pushed the Islanders back into first place in
the Atlantic Division, one point ahead of the second place Rangers.

Shawn Bates
gave the Isles a first period lead, but Mats Sundin tied it early in the
second. Cairns’ winning goal midway through the second period was credited
as unassisted after deflecting in off former Islander Bryan McCabe; Michael
Peca scored unassisted in the third as the Isles improved to 14-5-2-1 on the
season.
Also on this
date: (1982) -- Neal Broten and Steve Payne each had hat tricks for the
Minnesota North Stars, but even that was not enough to defeat the Islanders, as
the teams played a wild 8-8 tie.
All-time, the
Isles have played seven November 23rd games at the Coliseum and finish with a 1-2-4
record on this date at 1255 Hempstead Turnpike in Uniondale.
