Things couldn’t be much better for the New York Islanders, who are one of the hottest teams in hockey right now. Everything is clicking for them and they look like titans in the most competitive division in the league.
They’re heading into a crucial stretch of schedule: on Thursday, they’ll be taking on the New Jersey Devils in the first of three games in a row against their rivals. The Devils are stuck in a rut and have been one of the worst teams in the league lately.
The Islanders have no excuse and must exert dominance in this three-game stretch, especially since their schedule is going to get tougher.
