Islanders News: Losing a “must-win” sounds about right this season

The loss last night to a Panthers team that only got their second win of the season appears to be an indicator of what we all feared leading up to October: that this season, she’s going to be a long one.

It’s still far too early to tell what the rest of the year holds, but blowing 2-goal leads in the third period, and getting metaphorically smacked around in doing so, is a recipe for failure. Especially when the game was in “must-win” territory.

  • The Islanders moved their February 28 game against the Maple Leafs from Barclays Center to the Coliseum, since the Islanders host the Capitals at the Coliseum the following night.
