The New York Islanders can’t go 1-3-0 and hope to factor positively in any power rankings. Unless it’s a power ranking of Orange and Blue teams.
Actually, scratch that, the Edmonton Oilers are 3-1-0. So even on that ridiculously specific criteria the Islanders fall to the very bottom of the ranking.
What’s the deal? Do they need a human battering ram like Matt Martin in order to score a few goals? Do they need Frans Nielsen to do everything for them in order to dictate the rhythm of the game? Or maybe they needed Kyle Okposo to just will the game in their direction.
