The New York Islanders are two games (and two wins) into a nine-game road trip, but it’s really two trips interrupted by a four-day break that encompasses the trade deadline.
Tonight is the end of leg one, in Columbus. Thursday’s 3-0 win in Montreal was darn near an ideal effort, so we’ll see what they can sustain tonight against the Blue Jackets, who hold the other wild card spot but are, heh, 11 points ahead of the Isles with two games in hand.
