Daily Faceoff Live,New York Islanders,NHL

The Islanders have won five straight games and currently hold the No. 3 spot in the Metropolitan Division.

Extending their winning streak to five games with a 4-2 win over the New York Rangers on Tuesday, the New York Islanders have climbed beyond the grind of the Eastern Conference standings and now find themselves holding the No. 3 spot in the Metropolitan Division.

With stellar goaltending from both Ilya Sorokin and Semyon Varlamov, Matthew Barzal continuing to tear up the scoresheet, Noah Dobson emerging as one of the best blueliners in the game, and of course, the boost that’s come with the hiring of Patrick Roy as head coach, the Islanders have emerged as a team with plenty of upset-potential in the first round of the playoffs.

When we start to talk about which team might be a live dog in the first round, the Islanders stand out to me. Anytime you can throw out Ilya Sorokin at someone in a seven-game series, that has unique, game-breaking potential. Obviously they’re energized and playing much better, and leave it up to St. Patrick to try and make some miracles happen for the Islanders.
