* Fitepatrick logs —  &§
first NHL shutout |

Pre-season expectations for
Mark Fitzpatrick and his New
York Islanders have not
- blossomed .in this NHL season,
but hopefully Mark’s recent
’ shutout. against Chicago could
be a turnaround point for the
stumbling squad.

Mark picked up his intial .
scoreless big league game last
Thursday in the Windy City by

stopping 31 shots, in back stopp-

ing his New Yorkers to a 2-0
win,
Islander losing streak. :

It was only the sixth win in 25
outings for the Isles and only
Mark’s second win in 10 games.
With the team flirting around
21st place in overall standings,

their fans have'had little to cheer .

about.

Mark’s defensive corps suf-
fers from more mental lapses
than. the coaching staff would
like, and goal-scoring ; languishes

It broke a five-game’.

in the bottom half of statistics.
After the shutout, Mark’s
total of minutes played went up

to 637 while his goals’ against —

stayed at 43. His goals-against
average dropped lose to 4.00
from 4.25.

Like the man said, he should
suc for lack of support.

‘It’s. not that the Islanders
haven't been trying to find the
magic touch. They made some

trades and ‘airlifted . several —

players back. -and-forth from

their farm teams.

Fans and management hope

their injured list will improve -

and that this is merely an early
season slump. Fitzpatrick hopes
his shutout is only the first of
many.

On Saturday
stopped the Islanders to a 6-3
victory over Winnipeg, setting
his overall record at three wins,
eight losses and one tie.
