Ben Shelley: Isles end losing skid with win over Sabres, but injuries continue to mount

Duclair, Barzal and Pelech Ouch!!!!!

EK has Patrick as one of the coaches coaching for their lives this weekend. Lack of talent and now injuries. Yes, this makes sense.

Hate to admit it, but the Rangers are legitimate contenders. Today’s game is gonna be a tough one. With a healthy squad the isles aren’t as good as the Rags on paper. Now with injuries it could get ugly.

Not sure about any of these guys. Depending on the overall cost it might be beneficial if the islanders stand pat.

Rangers have had a solid team the past few years. It is going to be a tough day in the office for Sorokin.

Nice 3 on 1 by Zibby, Kreider and Dobson!

Edit: That rush is more like it Noah!

Surprised we are only down by 1, end of 1

Was the period as even as the shot totals suggest?

At least Casey is still playing hard.

Isles made a lot of mental mistakes. Led to both goals.

Isles actually were competitive and may have had the better of play but the mistakes have cost them.

Schwein your boy just cost us a Powerplay.

This team is making Pee Wee hockey mistakes.

And that's the ball game.

Prime or not...He is usually a smart player. I still think he can play. Just not top 6 minutes.

Gonna be a LONGGGGG season.

What’s worse? Being on the PP and giving up a shorty, or watching an empty netter with 4 min to go? That’s islander hockey…

The worst will be watching our 1st get traded for a border line second pairing defender. 😖

Just my two cents but this is Lou’s roster. He started the season with it so he should own it. He shouldn’t be able to sell the first to put lip stick on a pig.

My guess is he will. It's what he does.
