The New York Islanders are currently in a complete mess. They were hit hard with a COVID-19 outbreak and it took far too long for the NHL to postpone their games.
That along with long-term injuries to some of their most important and best players has resulted in one of the team’s worst stretches in franchise history.
The Islanders are on a three-game point streak, but have dropped 11 games in a row. In such a competitive division as the Metro, the playoffs are growing to be more and more unlikely for New York.
An important contributing factor of the Islanders’ struggles is lack of production from the majority of their top guys.
