It will be a long time before anything is safe, but with each passing game, the playoffs seem like a more and more likely destination for the Islanders.
After Saturday’s controlled and clinical 4-1 victory over the Red Wings, the Isles are 4-1-1 since losing Mat Barzal, 32-25-8 on the season and have two more points in their pocket over the slew of wild-card opposition below them.
By the 4:39 mark, the Isles had taken the lead, with Anders Lee deflecting Hudson Fasching’s shot past Magnus Hellberg. Oh, and a second goal from Lee with 2:38 left in the game, making the final score a bit more reflective of the gameflow. As has been the trend following Barzal’s injury, the Islanders continued to play structured and sound defensive hockey.
