As I explained last week, hot streaks are not forever but they feel like it at points. The New York Islanders then had four straight wins. They close out this week with four more. As such, they remain in first place in the East Division. The Islanders are by no means secure in first in the East Division. However, they have a two-point lead as well as tiebreakers with a commanding lead in regulation wins (the first tiebreaker after games played) and regulation/overtime wins (the second tiebreaker). Outside of an injury to Anders Lee, it has been another excellent week for the Orange and Blue Crew of New York.
