Despite being in a playoff spot, there are a lot of problems that the New York Islanders must address.
What is going on with the New York Islanders? That seems to be a popular question throughout the NHL. Despite being in the first wild card spot as of now, the Islanders are not playing playoff hockey. They have not had the start to the season they hoped for and they are in danger of being buried in the strong Eastern Conference if they do not make some changes.
The Islanders are coming off only their second playoff appearance in the last eight years, almost advancing to the second round of the playoffs before losing in seven games to the Washington Capitals.
