The New York Islanders remain undefeated in January and haven’t lost since Dec. 20.
Sure, they’ve only played two games in 2022, and just three games since that December loss to Vegas, but we’ll take it.
The Isles returned from a 12-game postponement-fueled break with a 3-2 win over the New Jersey Devils. Mathew Barzal’s goal at 15:07 of the third period was the difference.
They’ve now won three games in a row and have points from 10 of their last 12 games. But they remain 16 points behind second wild card holder Boston, who won again tonight for their fourth in a row.
