TAMPA, Fla. – The Islanders are no longer collecting points on the most consistent basis.
But they don’t believe it’s because they are no longer playing well consistently.
“Just keep playing hard,” right wing Josh Bailey said. “I don’t feel like we’re on a skid. I feel like we’ve done some good things. It’s just the way things go sometimes.”
The Islanders continue a three-game road trip on Monday night against the Lightning at Amalie Arena.
