With their third win in three nights, the New York Islanders now head to Columbus for the final game of their two-game road trip. A win against the significantly altered Columbus Blue Jackets would make it four in a row for Trotz and his men.
Something we just didn’t see coming so soon after back-to-back 5-2 losses to the Edmonton Oilers and Carolina Hurricanes. The Islanders just didn’t look like a good team before heading on the road.
But somehow they found a way to win. And that’s just what good teams do. They find a way to win, even when they shouldn’t.
