Before I venture into the New York Islanders playoff series against Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, and the Pittsburgh Penguins, I would like to take one final look back at their wonderful 2018-19 regular season.
The Islanders finished with 48 wins and 103 points, the most for this franchise since the 1983-84 season. They finished with 24 wins on the road and at home, marking the first time in franchise history that they achieved those totals in the same season. They totaled 52 points at home and 51 points on the road, marking their first 50-50 season since 1980-81.
