Anders Lee puts a shot on goal in the third period of the Islanders' 3-1 win over the Capitals on Monday.
There are a few theories that might have some truth to them, but nobody can quite put their finger on what, exactly, it is that makes the Islanders such a threat at Barclays Center this season.
They’re not complaining, though, especially after their latest win, 3-1 over the Capitals on Monday night in Brooklyn.
The Capitals entered Monday in second place in the Metropolitan Division, but the Islanders joined them there by the end of the night, picking up two points and improving to 9-1-2 at home this season.
