The New York Islanders sit in third place of the Metropolitan division. Unfortunately, the playoff race is tight and a bad couple of games can put the Islanders on the outside looking in. Last time we saw the Isles play, they beat the Ranger 4-2 in MSG.
On Saturday the Isles come out of the by-week with a tilt against the Cancuks in a matinee at the Barclays Center. It'll be the first of three straight at the Barclays Center.
Since the 17 game point streak, the Islanders have been pedestrian at best. It would surely behoove them to string some wins together.
