Mathew Barzal (AP Photo/Julia Nikhinson) All of the good work the Islanders had done over the previous three weeks took a bit of a hit over the weekend, losing back-to-back games to a pair of non-playoff teams in the Columbus Blue Jackets and Buffalo Sabres.Regardless, they're still sitting in the top Wild Card spot in the Eastern Conference playoff picture with the Pittsburgh Penguins just one point behind them and having one game in hand and they've done most of the heavy lifting recently without their star in Mathew Barzal by winning nine of their first 13 games since he went down with a lower-body injury on Feb. 18 against the Boston Bruins.
