Islanders Are Playing Down To Their Competition

86-86-31, the combined record of the New York Islanders' last five losses. Right now, they're playing down to their competition and for some reason can't snap out of this funk that they've been in the past few weeks.

While last night was better defensively, only allowing two goals, their number one need reared its ugly head. The team needs more offense.

While the 17 game point streak masked a lot of these issues, it allowed the Isles to get out to a comfortable lead in the playoff race before coming back to the mean.
