For the second time in franchise history, the Islanders have a win streak of nine games. What Barry Trotz has been able to do with this team, despite all the injuries and illnesses, is Jack Adams worthy.
You might find yourself saying, well what happened the last time the Islanders went on a streak like this? Boy, do I have some good news for you.
In 1982-1983, the Isles found themselves winners of eight straight games. They also found themselves winners of their fourth straight Stanley Cup by years end. They finished the regular season with 96 points and a second-place finish.
