* 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 .

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.

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.
