Don't look now, but the Islanders are 2 points out of a playoff spot. How does that team always go from "dead in the water" to "somehow, they've returned" every year?

They sold Nelson at the deadline too which is crazy.

It’s wild how the East playoff race has so quickly gone from “2 of NYR, Columbus, Detroit” to “Ottawa is basically in, last playoff spot is down to Montreal, NYR, NYI.” A matter of weeks.

It’s a better version of JR’s final years in Carolina, where the second half surge is just enough to sneak into the playoffs and still prevent a complete rebuild of the foundation.
 
Refs ruined another potential goalie fight last night. Kuemper got run into, started swinging at the Bruins players, Swayman and Kuemper meet at center ice. Swayman removes his helmet and his gloves, refs step in.

And I know the reason why they do that, and it’s unfortunately a valid one. The league doesn’t want any fights happening where the player removes their helmet (because smacking the head against the ice is less than ideal), and unfortunately, there’s no way goalies can fight without removing their helmets.

they should just let each goalie quickly do a helmet swap with any skater on the ice then go at it
