It’s too early in the 2021 season to make any sweeping judgments on the New York Islanders play so far. They’ve played three games and all three were widely different performances.
They went from a flawless execution in the opener to an epically bad follow up two days later, and then game three was somewhere in the middle. That 1-0 home win over the Bruins in game 3 was great mainly because that hasn’t happened since 2013, but it also featured a few worrying trends like going 0-for-5 on the power play.
