The New York Islanders just seem deadset on losing games. Last night, despite two separate leads, including one in the third period, the Islanders lost to the Seattle Kraken in a shootout, falling to 0-5 after regulation and 5-6-5 overall, which is just an absurd record 16 games into the season.
Their PK is historically bad right now, and it's obvious why: They're just letting guys whip the puck around. There is no pressure, no sticks in lanes, and bad clears when they get a chance. And now, they're all playing like they're afraid to make a mistake, goaltenders included-although I would say it's probably not Ilya Sorokin and Semyon Varlamov's faults that the Islanders are 0-4-3 in their last seven.
Mercifully, this road trip ends tomorrow night with a visit to the Calgary Flames, who are not goo...
