Well this was a stinker.
After the dominant 6-1 win against the Winnipeg Jets yesterday, the New York Islanders couldn’t get anything past Kaapo Kahkonen and the New Jersey Devils.
The Isles had their power play opportunities, but couldn’t convert, and they once again fell apart in the second period, letting in three goals in six minutes of game time. The team just doesn’t seem to have the energy for back-to-back games anymore, and the chances of a playoff spot seem to get further and further away.
And the Islanders might be without Anders Lee going forward, depending on if any supplemental discipline will be given out for his kneeing major on Nico Hischier.
