The New York Islanders crossed the mid-way point of their season on Saturday with a 3-2 victory over the New Jersey Devils, extending their win streak to eight and point streak to eleven. Those streaks now sit at nine and twelve respectively after Sunday’s wild shootout win, and just like that the Islanders are the hottest team in hockey halfway through the 2020-21 NHL season.
