Before yesterday’s game, we discussed at length how difficult it would be to contain the Colorado Avalanche’s top line. In impressive fashion, the New York Islanders obliged and were able to escape Denver with a win.
With a combined 150 points between the three of them, the Av’s top unit of Landeskog – MacKinnon – Rantanen is a force to be reckoned with. Two of the three are on pace for over 120 points and Landeskog was on pace for 99 heading into last night.
Despite all of this, the Islanders only allowed one goal last night.
