SAN JOSE, Calif. – California swings are never easy. The travel is long from the East Coast, there’s a three-hour time difference to get used to and all three teams typically play a big, physical game.
All things considered, though, this one sets up as favorably as possible for the Islanders, who can extend their franchise record streak of points in 16 consecutive games (15-0-1) on Saturday night against the Sharks at SAP Center.
“This is my third year and the first years that I was part of it we played like three games in four nights,” said right wing Jordan Eberle, traded to the Islanders from the Oilers prior to 2017-18.
