The New York Islanders were rocking and rolling in Week 21, winning three out of the four games they played and gaining some momentum. The playoffs remain a reach, but nothing is impossible if they keep playing as they did this week.
They also got veteran defenseman Zdeno Chára as well as star center Mathew Barzal back after both suffered injuries not long ago.
Several of the Islanders’ wins this week were dominant ones and that was the result of many players playing incredibly well. Captain Anders Lee, who was the NHL’s third star of the week, was the best of all.
