The good news: JG Pageau is back!
The bad news: The Islanders dropped their second straight game, and looked sluggish again tonight, much like the game against the Caps on Saturday. It wasn’t one of Ilya Sorokin’s finest games, but he could hardly be blamed for it, really, given how the skaters were tonight.
The Islanders still hold the second wild card slot, but it sure would be nice to pick up 4 points in the next two games of this road trip.

Really the only event of note was that Pierre Engvall’s goal streak continued - and he really got to shoot this one in!
