Spirits and hopes for the Islanders have cratered, so they'll probably pull off a win in Detroit tonight to keep their pulse alive. Or not. They're on a five-game winless slide and they've looked pretty bad while doing it, so why should tonight be any different? Other than to torture us a little longer by re-flickering a spark of hope, that is.
The family of the late Chris Simon (that still feels so weird to say) believes he suffered from CTE, and of course the NHL is having none of that. They'll await medical results, at which point they (and the NHLPA) will still be having none of that. Elsewhere, concerns about cohesion for teams like Toronto heading into playoffs are discussed.
