Four games, two on an early back-to-back against a team coming off an alarming two-week break, and two more against a team we’re already sick of.
First, let’s look back at the (pretty darn good, all things considered) week that was.
Game 10: 2-0 win over the Rangers
Well that was pleasant. Like everyone else, I was taken aback to learn that Semyon Varlamov is the first Islanders goalie to shutout the Rangers twice in the same season.
If you think back on the various eras, it really isn’t as crazy as it sounds.
