The New York Islanders last night secured a huge home regulation win over the Pittsburgh Penguins. It was their second straight win at home by a 5-1 score while wearing their Fisherman Reverse Retros. Perhaps the luck of those jerseys has changed since debuting without a goal.
Last night’s results mean that only four points separate the second-place New Jersey Devils and sixth-place Islanders in the Metro Division. As of now, it appears more likely that five teams will come out of the Metro and only three will come from the Atlantic.
