Forget leaving a mark; the New York Islanders have an opportunity to write the final chapters of the 2018-19 season.
With 103 points (three more than the super team in Toronto) and a shutout in their regular-season finale, the impact Barry Trotz had on the Islanders was the best-case scenario.
After both Jaroslav Halak and Thomas Greiss surrendered a league-worst 293 goals in the 2017-18 season, the Islanders have become the second team in exactly 100 years (Ottawa Senators 1917-18, 1918-19) to have the worst goals-against and the best goals-against in back-to-back years.
