Islanders Goalie Stops 58 Shots in Win Sportsbooks Online. Sportbooks online had the New York Islanders goaltender Dwayne Roloson making 58 saves in the Islanders 4-3 overtime win against the Toronto Maple Leafs. It was the most saves a goalie has made in an NHL game in 18 years and gave the Islanders the offshore sportsbook win.
Sportbooks online had the 40-year old Roloson putting on a show for the Islanders in their win. The last goalie that stopped that many shots was Ron Tugnutt back in 1991 when Quebec still had a team. Tugnutt made 70 saves against the Bruins back in 1991. The Islanders have been a pleasant surprise this season against the odds at the offshore sportsbook. The Islanders are 2-0-2 on this road trip with Roloson in goal. They went 3-2-2 overall in sportbooks online action on the road trip and now they are 9-8-7 this sportbooks online hockey season. ”To me, it’s just another night, another game,” Roloson said. ”It doesn’t matter to me whether it’s one shot or 100 shots, I’ve got to do the same things, try to give my team a chance to win.”
The Maple Leafs were even in shock that they didn’t win the game. ”I don’t ever remember a game like that,” said Toronto forward Phil Kessel who had 12 shots. ”I don’t even know what to say after something like that.” ”Roloson was outstanding,” Islanders coach Scott Gordon said. ”We didn’t tell Dwayne, but we figured as long as they didn’t hit 70 shots, we’d be all right.”
The Islanders were able to get the win in sportbooks online action against a Toronto team that continues to struggle. The Leafs are tied with Carolina for the fewest points in the NHL this sportbooks online season. ”It was unbelievable,” Kessel said. ”You know again, we didn’t win. We’ve got to bury one more puck. It’s unfortunate. We’re going to keep battling and keep working. We’ve got a good hockey club here – we’re better than our record shows.”
The Islanders have surprised a lot of people this sportbooks online year at the offshore sportsbook. They have 25 points and that puts them right in the middle of the playoff picture in the Eastern Conference as they are tied with Philadelphia and the New York Rangers in the division. Taking the Islanders is no longer a joke when making a wager at the offshore sportsbook.
