That wasn’t the worst game they have ever played, but that was not very inspiring hockey by the New York Islanders. After two straight two-goal comebacks against theoretically strong opponents, the Islanders failed to score any goals against a theoretically weaker opponent in the Arizona Coyotes on a night where their elite goaltender only gave up one goal (and he didn’t really stand a chance on it).
They out-attempted the Coyotes, but they got out-high-dangered by a fair margin. It tracks with the Islanders missing the net 23 times and seeing 17 more shots blocked.
