The Islanders, though, are at the point at which it would take a stunning collapse to avoid returning to the playoffs after falling short last season.
As they embark on a three-game trip that begins Wednesday at Washington and includes games against Tampa Bay and Carolina, the Islanders can afford to be less than perfect for the first time in a long time. Clinching the playoffs on this trip is unlikely, but not impossible, if the Islanders run the table and get help from Florida and Buffalo.
“It’s way more physical in a playoff game,” Engvall said. “But still, it’s a hard game. We did a good job. I think if we keep doing what we did today, we’re gonna be really hard [to beat].” “Physicality, it’s a part of our game,” Lambert said, “it’s part of our game every night we possibly can, and I thought that [Monday] more so than the last game, we established our forecheck a little better. That led to some more physicality.”“Headed on the road for some tough games, it’s something we can build on momentum-wise and we know what it’s gonna take to be successful,” Kyle Palmieri said after scoring twice and notching an assist versus the Devils.
