The Eagle’s Nest: Islanders Stats Roundup through 7 Games
Warning: objects in seven-game mirror may be smaller than they appear.This week we will be taking a break from any shift-tracking stats, as those numbers build up.... All stats in this article are from Natural Stat Trick unless otherwise stated.
One thing to keep in mind when evaluating the first seven games for the New York Islanders is their level of competition to start the season. Five of their seven games have been against arguably elite opponents (SJS x2, NSH x2, CAR), at least in terms of 5v5 ability, while the other two games (ANA, LAK) were on the road, one of which was a second of back-to-back that ended around 1 a.m. eastern time.
