More line and position swaps didn’t do much to change the Isles’ fortunes as of late, with the losing streak extending to 6 games, with just one point picked up in that span.
And out of all of those, this was the one the Islanders really needed to win, since Detroit is a direct rival for a playoff spot.
They honestly played a pretty solid game, too, but the total collapses after letting in a goal continued, with two goals in quick succession twice in tonight’s game - in the second and third periods. And it’s just near-impossible to win games when you put yourself in that position.
