Good Things Happening On The Island


The Isles won their 4th in a row and stretched their unbeaten in regulation streak to six games. From the net out the Islanders are playing hard and smart hockey and are getting production up and down the line.

Tonight the hero was long time stay at home defensemen Brendan Witt. Witt netted 2 goals increasing his career goal total to 25 in 862 career games. Great efforts as well from Doug Weight, Andy Sutton, Jack Hillen, and Dwayne Roloson. Honestly, we could list all the names cause it was a classic team effort.

John Tavares fired home his 5th goal of the season on a nice feed from Matt Moulson. JT has points in 4 straight games and was all over the net. Tavares again had several great chances and once the kid starts burying them with more regularity he is going to trigger many of those entry level contract bonuses.

The Isles will head to Buffalo Wednesday which will mark the start of the possible season defining stretch of 14 of the next 17 games on the road.
