Thanks to the Ringling Brothers the New York Islanders are on the road for nine-straight games. A franchise record by the way. It started well with a good win against just-above-the-bottom Detroit Red Wings, and continues tonight against misleading-division-leaders the Montréal Canadiens.
Misleading because, while the Habs are in first place in the Atlantic their 72 points would have them fifth in the Metropolitan division. Which just highlights the weakness of the Atlantic and the strength of the Metro. Just in case you weren’t already aware after likely spending most of the day confronted with the standings over all your social media platforms.
