The New York Islanders are a trainwreck right now. There’s no other way to describe it. They entered the year 2023 facing a difficult schedule, a real make-or-break stretch. Turns out that it might have just broken them.
As Dom wrote last night, the Islanders didn’t exactly waste another Ilya Sorokin gem against the Carolina Hurricanes. They played decently, and he wasn’t necessarily at his best. But the fact of the matter is that they once again lost and once again failed to score more than two goals.
They have only two wins in eleven January games.
