Sometimes this sport we love makes no sense. For instance, the Islanders coming away with a win on Monday but losing on Saturday doesn’t make any sense. Regardless, the team is back in action tonight against the Boston Bruins.
As it stands right now, the Isles are trailing the Bruins by three points in the division and are below both Philadelphia and Pittsburgh who have 21 points as well with fewer games.
