The Islanders are doing great! It’s weird. It’s been high-wire every game. There are persistent flaws. But also some improving signs? And some things, like scoring overall, and the power play, that have been pretty good even through their tough times.
They haven’t lost in regulation in a month (cue: just jinxed Friday), so man they have sent us through some ups and downs.
Suddenly they’re four points off the pace for the division lead. What do you make of this team now?
