It’s not impossible, but through half of the 2021-22 season, it looks like the New York Islanders streak of making it to the Eastern Conference Final will end at two.
It also looks like their playoff streak will end at three. Disappointing play, a pretty terrible offseason, and a COVID outbreak that was completely mishandled by the NHL have the Islanders sitting well out of a playoff spot. The fact that they play in the hardest division in the league makes the playoffs even more of a reach.
Numerically speaking, they’re still in it, but it doesn’t look good for a team that was a juggernaut a few months ago.
