Reminder: If you are using #Isles and tweeting good stuff about the Boys of Long Island-Brooklyn, we’ll be watching you.
Neither the presence of Johnny Boychuk, nor Travis Hamonic were required for a nearly-perfect 2-0-1 week for the Islanders of Brooklyn homestanding.
While John Tavares hasn’t scored a goal in six games, victories over the Blue Jackets and Rangers saw the Isles regain some of their scoring touch, namely Brock Nelson via his first NHL hat trick.
The Islanders are really weathering the turn of the calendar into the new year so far rather than thriving if you look at their inconsistency of scoring.
