After a 1-3 start, the New York Islanders are now 7-3, 10 games into the 2019-2020 season. The Islanders got their latest victory tonight on the road in Ottawa, and it wasn't an easy one in typical Islander fashion.
Barry Trotz, before the game, decided to dress 11 forwards and seven defensemen. That way Noah Dobson could get into the game as well. It was certainly a risk, and it nearly cost the Islanders tonight, we'll get into that in a bit.
The Senators were able to get on the board first, just seconds after an Anders Lee penalty expired.
