That’s all, folks.
The New York Islanders started their season off hanging around in the playoff picture for most of the season, but now find themselves well outside of the playoff picture by five. The fact that former Islander head coach Jack Capuano‘s Florida Panthers are on an absolute tear only adds salt to several fresh wounds for fans.
Yes, the Islanders are still technically just five points out of a spot, but it’s been the same story for the 2018 calendar year so far and fat chance that their odds change in the last 15 games of the season.
