Mike and Dan recap the Islanders stunning week of huge wins that put them back in the playoff picture, and look ahead at this Friday’s trade deadline.

Victories over Dallas, Detroit and Boston gave fans renewed hope that this season might not be the waste of time it seemed just one week ago. Structured defense and great individual performances like Mat Barzal’s shift in overtime against the Stars, Brock Nelson versus the Red Wings and Kyle Palmieri’s natural hat trick against the Bruins made Patrick Roy’s line changes and systems look more apparent, and set the table for even more stacked wins as they head out to California for three crucial games.
