Offense has been the New York Islanders biggest issue since 2018-19. The year prior the Isles finished seventh in offense with 261 goals (3.18 goals per game). But since, the Isles have put up 564 goals in 206 games (2.74 goals per game).
The Islanders are seemingly chasing upgrades to their top six, but the longer it goes without one coming in the less likely that becomes.
