The Islanders will need more consistent efforts offensively and defensively when they open a season-high, six-game homestand against the East Division-leading Capitals on Thursday night at Nassau Coliseum, given they’ve gone four games without a regulation win.
But Nick Leddy just needs to keep doing what he’s been doing.
The defenseman extended his point streak to three games with his team-leading 24th assist in Monday night’s 2-1 loss to the Penguins that concluded a 2-2-0 road trip. The Islanders also lost, 6-3, to the Penguins on Saturday.
"Honestly, I don’t try to change my game up too much," Leddy said recently.
