Islanders move into playoff spot after third straight victory in roller-coaster run
NY Post
COLUMBUS, Ohio — The Islanders are underwhelming. The Islanders have won three straight games. The Islanders are in a playoff spot.
The prevailing sentiment of this season has been bizarre from the start, so with just six games to go, maybe it’s not surprising that the charge to the postseason does not exactly inspire like the Charge of the Light Brigade.
But the British army did lose in the end, and after Islanders 4, Blue Jackets 2, the Isles have a three-game win streak in hand and can taste the postseason after passing the Capitals, who lost to Pittsburgh on Thursday night, for the second wild-card spot.
There are better things than a noble death.
A playoff spot is one of them.
“One of those nights where the ice was really bad, lot of plays that were looking great and then it hops over your stick,” Anders Lee told The Post. “One of those ones we had to grind out. I thought we did a good job of that.”
