The 2021 NHL playoffs are finally here and the New York Islanders are looking to make a deep run for the second year in a row. They and their fans hope it ends in a cup, this time.
The first stop on their journey is Pittsburgh. We’ve all gotten used to seeing the Islanders and Penguins face off in the playoffs: this is the sixth time they’ll be doing it.
The Islanders have won the last four and although the Penguins were the better team to end the season and did win the division, we can’t count Barry Trotz’s boys out.
