The Islanders are paying very little attention to their 10-game winning streak, the second-longest in franchise history, even if others keep reminding them of it.
“We’re game by game,” left wing Ross Johnston said. “It’s 10 but if the media weren’t talking about it, we wouldn’t be thinking about it in here. We’re enjoying the roll we’re on. That said, we’re game by game and we’re looking forward to the challenge tonight.”
That would be Thursday night’s Metropolitan Division contest against the Penguins at Barclays Center, the second of three straight games in Brooklyn.
