The Islanders concluded a season-high, six-game homestand against the Rangers on Sunday night at Nassau Coliseum after losing, 4-1, to their New York rivals on Friday night.
The Islanders went 0-for-1 without a shot on the man advantage on Friday, leaving them 0-for-6 in their last three games, 1-for-13 in the first five games of the homestand and 2-for-23 in a nine-game span.
