With a shootout win against the New Jersey Devils, the New York Islanders were able to preserve their two point lead at the top of the Metropolitan Division.
The win against the Devils gave the Isles a 7-1-2 record over their last ten games. It’s been the absolute opposite for the Colorado Avalanche over their last ten games.
With a five game losing streak, the Colorado Avalanche are 2-7-1 over their last ten games. That streak has the Avs outside of the playoffs by two points in the tight Western conference.
They’re playing about as poor as possible right now, but with MacKinnon, Rantanen, and Landeskog up top the Isles were going to have their hands full.
