Maybe the Islanders can find a reprieve north of the border.
That is the mandate as they head into a two-game trip through Toronto then Ottawa which doubles as an attempt to put their season back together with duct tape and superglue. They are not yet out of the playoff race, and a winning streak can still change the equation. But they are certainly down for the count after losing eight of nine games, with just two victories in the month of January.
All this, by the way, and the Isles still do need to keep an eye on Washington and Pittsburgh because those are the teams actually in a playoff spot. The Islanders played six of seven games at home over the last two weeks, winning only against the last-place Canadiens. Following Saturday’s match against Carolina, conversation turned to the coach, who is taking on an embattled look just 48 games into his first season behind an NHL bench.
“It’s not something I waste time thinking about,” Bailey said. “No point in worrying about that stuff down the road. Let’s focus on finding the answers to what’s going on.”
