It was the Dom and Paud show just a minute later on the 5 on 4 power play when Paud brought the puck around the back of the net and found Dom set up for the one-time shot from just a few feet away from his previous goal. Sean Ferus was credited with the secondary assist.

The Islanders then got two goals in the 3rd period, one from Dean Pevey and the other from Corey McNally.
