A Saturday New York Islanders win makes Sunday so much better. I look back at Saturday's 3-2 win over the Buffalo Sabres in a different way...

Six Nuggets About Islanders Game One:

1. Buffalo has a fast team, but the Islanders kept pace with the Sabres.

2. Barzal and Bo blended. Holmstrom wasn't lost on the line.

3. The Power Play looks as if it could be a positive factor, it certainly has upside. Puck movement was all right!

4. All four lines were assets.

5. Defensively, the D-men were solid enough.

6. Brocktober had a neat double-dip, goal, and assist. Plus: HAPPY 32nd BIRTHDAY, Lord Nelson!
