The Islanders visit Buffalo and avoiding a shutout would be progress.

The Islanders are in Buffalo Friday night to take on another “bad” team that Steve and the team’s own uninspired construction have conspired to make daunting.

This is not the Gordon years, nor the low-point of the Capuano years, so this unbelievable (yet so believable) scoring slump will break at some point, Brock Nelson will have a two-goal game somewhere, Mat Barzal will have a three-point night sometime, but the damage for a bubble-ceiling team losing “schedule win” games like this in succession will accumulate.

Last night’s NHL scores included the Penguins beating the Ducks in OT — because even the Penguins can beat the Ducks — and Carolina shattering the Bruins.
