Of all the leads the New York Islanders have blown over the past couple of seasons, last night’s was probably the one that bothered me the least. Since the wave of injuries hit, it was the first time it happened, and the New Jersey Devils are good. The tying goal was some bad luck, and the game-winner only happened because Jack Hughes was cheating.
I had said that the Islanders needed five out of six points from the three games before their trip out west, and they got them. Now let’s see how they do when they head out there.
