Putting it lightly, it was a tough week for the New York Islanders on the last leg of their road trip. The Islanders gave up 14 goals in three games and were routed to 0-0-3 in that span. So what's wrong with the Islanders right now? The power play has gotten worse (if you can believe it,) Oliver Wahlstrom is catching criticism from Barry Trotz, Zach Parise and Kyle Palmieri are playing well despite how it might appear on the score sheet, the defense is out of sync, and is Noah Dobson not what we expected? This and more in episode 86.
