This evening, the Islanders played their last game that starts later than 10:00 p.m. until December. By then, we should have a better idea of what this team is. Right now, it is still very much up in the air, amidst our speculation that they are not great. Tonight, they sort of fulfilled our expectation, both in process and result.
Midway through the first, the Sharks demonstrably controlled the ice and it did culminate in a lead. Thomas Hickey lost an edge entering the defensive zone and San Jose set up in a 3-on-2.
