Mike and Dan review the Islanders’ first three games of the season, which saw a lot of bad with some good hope lurking below the surface.
They talk about the defensive breakdowns in Carolina and the wheels coming off after a promising start in Florida, both leading to losses against other teams expected to contend this season. They then relax after a win in Chicago that was saved in large part by Ilya Sorokin and a career-best game by Oliver Wahlstrom.
Later, they look ahead to the next three games, which can set the tone for the rest of their long season-starting road trip.
