Well well well, just when a quorum of the fanbase is ready to throw in the towel on the season and take the keys away from the GM’s office, the Islanders go and finally win again.
They still only managed two goals, they still needed a shutout performance from Ilya Sorokin to keep things from spiraling away, but they got the two points. A surprise win over the fellow slumping Golden Knights tonight could further deceive (especially if the Penguins and Sabres both lose tonight), but this is pretty much how things look going into the break:
#Isles jump back to 10th in Eastern Conference with 2-0 win over Red Wings.
