The complete Skinny will follow but this one is too good to wait.
The Isles trailed 2-0 tonight, until Kyle Okposo's goal got them on the board at 12:50 of the third period. According to the geniuses at Elias Sports Bureau, this is the latest that the Isles have trailed by 2 goals in a game they won in regulation since January 13, 1991.
That night, the Isles trailed 3-1 in Quebec, before rallying for three in the final 5:40 for the win.
Here's the boxscore:
