With seven wins in a row, the New York Islanders are the hottest team in the NHL. With 16 points in eleven games, the Islanders are second in the Metropolitan Division and sixth in the NHL.
They spent the entirety of last season proving people wrong. Before a puck had even been dropped the Islanders were written off. And then during the season, when the team was winning, the Islanders still couldn't get any respect around the league. Because the numbers said this wasn't a good team.
Well, eleven games into the 2019-20 season and the Isles are doing it again.
