How the Islanders Are Quietly Redefining Power in the League—and Why No One Saw It Coming
TAMPA — The New York Islanders don’t just have three straight wins. Over the last week, they’ve defeated the Tampa Bay Lightning twice and the Colorado Avalanche.
Back on Tuesday, the Islanders put an end to Tampa’s seven-game win streak with a 2-1 win before handing Colorado their second regulation loss, ending their 17-game point streak (14-0-3) with a 6-3 victory.
