Scoring wasn’t supposed to be an issue for this New York Islanders team. In fact, the defense was supposed to be this team’s biggest weakness. That hasn’t been the case thus far and the trip to California the past week highlighted this sudden weakness.
When Casey Cizikas is your leading scorer, you know you have a problem. I love Zeeker, but that’s not his role. He’s a penalty killer, yet here we are six games into the season, and he’s got five points to his name.
Josh Ho-Sang and Jordan Eberle have yet to find the back of the net.
