The good news: the Islanders have earned points in consecutive games.
The bad news: the losing streak is still on and has now reached 10 in a row.
The Islanders have another chance to right the ship on Sunday against the Chicago Blackhawks.
This will be New York’s best chance to earn a win since their losings streak began. The Blackhawks have been much better since firing Jeremy Colliton, but are still one of the worst teams in the NHL.
They’re the worst team the Islanders will have faced since beginning the losing streak. Now that the Islanders have most of their players back, this will be a huge opportunity for them to get going.
