The New York Islanders are on an absolute heater since the last time we spoke. They have points in nine straight games and are winners of six in a row. All four lines are rolling and things are looking up for this team.
First, we’ll get into the legitimacy of the team. NBC gave them credit on a national broadcast, is the rest of the league finally taking notice to them?
Also, their captain Anders Lee has been playing outstanding hockey. He has 12 goals to his name this year and is the only player in the league with 10+ goals, 3+ shots a game, and 1.5 hits per game.
Lastly, we’ll get into Mitch’s prospect update for this week. Here’s what you can expect from episode 186:
