Week 22 was a decent one for the New York Islanders. They kicked things off with an unfortunate shootout loss against the Washington Capitals, one of the teams they’re trying to catch for a playoff spot, but did manage to come away with a big point.
They then collected two massive wins against the hot Dallas Stars, who are also fighting for a playoff spot, and their rivals the New York Rangers, one of the best teams in the league.
It was unfortunate that they concluded the week with a loss to their other division rivals and one of the worst teams in the NHL, the Philadelphia Flyers, but points in three out of four isn’t bad.
