I don’t think anyone can call the Islanders boring anymore.
The New York Islanders nearly beat—and should’ve beaten, frankly—the top team in the Eastern Conference, the Boston Bruins, in the final game of their season-long homestand. However, they secured another critical point, finishing the home swing 4-0-2, earning ten out of 12 possible points. That’s huge, about as well as we could ask for.
They’re now 6-0-2 on this eight-game point streak and have earned points in 14 of their last 15 games dating back exactly one month ago from yesterday, November 15 in Vancouver.
