The Islanders are still struggling to find consistency in how they play entering Game 39 of their season.
“We weren’t clean on our breakouts,” Lambert said. “It starts there. You can’t play with speed if you don’t execute or exit your zone cleanly and we didn’t do that. Then, when we did have the puck in the neutral zone at times, we turned it over instead of getting it in deep and establishing our forecheck.”
The Islanders won three games on the hop before venturing out West for a four-game trip, clinically suppressing shots and forechecking as they gave up just three goals across those victories. The Kraken game was so bad, though, with the Isles giving up more shots than they generated on the power play, that Lambert went to an option he emphatically shot down less than a week ago and changed the composition of his five-on-four units at practice.
Even after Semyon Varlamov was activated on Monday, the Islanders are down a number of regulars, with Oliver Wahlstrom, Adam Pelech and Simon Holmstrom skipping the trip entirely while Cal Clutterbuck and Kyle Palmieri try to work their way back from injuries in time to play in Western Canada. The 1-for-30 streak on the power play the Isles have over their last 10 games can’t continue. And the 4-4-2 record they hold over that time, while admirable for how they’ve fought through myriad issues, won’t be good enough to make it in an uber-competitive playoff race.
