Much like the Islanders i've been unproductive and out of sync lately, when your in the process of moving while trying to complete your holiday shopping it becomes overwhelming. Factor in the 2 feet of snow on the ground and it's been a rough patch to say the least.
The Islanders dropped their 3rd in a row and 4th straight at home. The penalty killing has been downright horrid and the offensive production has dissapeared. It's tough times right now and the Islanders need to get it going asap.
John Tavares has struggled, JT has now gone 5 games without a point and it's just not falling for him right now. Tavares has continued creating chances for himself and others but nothing has been cashed in. Matt Moulson has come back to earth with 1goal in his last 9 games, Blake Comeau has come from the press box to the right side of Tavares and has not been a good fit, Kyle Okposo jumped back on the JT line late in the 3rd but his struggles are currently the worst on the team as he is in double figures in games without a goal.
The power play has'nt helped the cause either as the top unit again has had chances but has come up short.
Toronto comes in Wednesday and is now ahead of the Isles in the standings. A must win to say the least.
