"We put ourselves in that spot all year. Down the stretch here, when it really mattered, and we needed to get the wins, we just didn't get the job done, star forward Bo Horvat said. It's a pretty crappy feeling. It's on us in this room, and we've just got to learn from it and try to get better next year."
"We needed to get a couple wins here in the last couple days, and we fell short of it, captain Anders Lee said. It's just a lot to think about, a lot to wrap our heads around right now. It sucks, it fking sucks. We're disappointed in it, we put everything we could into making this happen, to pushing ourselves in the playoffs. We just faltered in some moments down the stretch."
The New York Islanders failed to qualify for the playoffs for the second year in a row, finishing with a disappointing 4-9-0 record in their last 13 games.
