In their last three road games the Islanders have scored at least three goals while amassing the same total in games at home. The only difference is in their last three home games, the Islanders have scored only two goals apiece. This continues to magnify a glaring issue with the Islanders record, they only seem to win games in which they score at least three goals.
With Halak back in net, the Islanders were able to chip away at a 4-3 shootout win in Pittsburgh, only to display a very unmotivated effort in a 2-1 loss against Boston at home the day after.
