The New York Islanders likely hood of making a run for the playoffs are growing ever slimmer with the ridiculous strength of the Metropolitan Division.
Four teams are on winning streaks over five games. If there’s any hope of extending the season into at least May, the Isles have to start winning ASAP.
First up, the Chicago Blackhawks. Awesome. The team that’s won three Stanley Cups in the last seven years. The team that’s at the top of the Central Division. The team that now has their talismanic player, Jonathan Toews, back after being out for a few weeks with an injury.
