What a difference 24 hours can make. Don't get it twisted, beating up on the worst team in the league doesn't mean all the New York Islanders' problems are solved but boy was it fun to forget about things for two and a half hours.
The Islanders got the scoring going early again, with Jordan Eberle netting his sixth of the year at the 3:23 mark of the period. Eberle now has three goals in his last four games and is looking like the offensive player the Islanders were hoping for when they extended him.
