I think it was another example of Kadri being himself, a little selfish and always trying to push the play. This is one of those times where it worked out for us.
The way the flames lackadaisically went for a shift change leaving Kadri alone almost looked like an intentional set play. Looked like all three Islanders were confused leaving Kadri an open lane
