Resurgent Isles finally making their move
Top Rival Rangers, 4-2, to Stretch Points Streak to Five Games
After skating around like the “Walking Dead” for a month and a half, the New York Islanders have suddenly sprung to life.
And not a moment too soon for the Brooklyn-based NHL franchise.
Jaroslav Halak stopped 36 shots and the resurgent Islanders got goals from four different skaters, including previously unproductive free-agent pickups Andrew Ladd and Jason Chimera, en route to Tuesday night’s 4-2 victory over the East River rival New York Rangers in front of 15,795 fans at Downtown’s Barclays Center.
