The New York Islanders are off to a fast start and seem to be meshing well under head coach Barry Trotz. Strong goaltending and bottom six scoring, something they lacked last year, currently has this team atop the Metro. It remains to be seen if they can keep up this play over the course of the season, the analytics certainly don’t suggest it. However, if they do keep it up or don’t, their depth in Bridgeport can definitely help.
Injuries
It’s very rare that a team goes a full season without sustaining any kind of injuries. The Islanders have had a few guys hurt here and there but nothing major so far.
