There is no way you entered this week expecting the New York Islanders would win four straight games, capped by a 41-save shutout of their western nemesis Nashville Predators, leaving the Isles in playoff position and in control of their own destiny.
Semyon Varlamov stopped 41 shots, the Isles skaters blocked 33 more - tribute to Barry Trotz, that? - and the Isles made Noah Dobson's goal halfway through the game stand up for a 2-0 win over Nashville.
"Varlamov's late-season MVP stint continues. It was his third shutout of the season."
"Crazy to see Anthony Beauvillier in yet another uniform. (That trade was a lose-lose, right?) Beau has a couple points in 10 games with the Preds. Bo Horvat has 32 goals this season."
