Ben Shelley: Islanders score seven to beat Leafs, Brock Nelson suffers injury in win

I know this will sound crazy, if Islanders make playoffs. I would rather them play Boston. Canes just always seem to have the Islanders number.

The Boston Bruins have a record of 5-12-0-0 against the Islanders in the playoffs all-time.

The Carolina Hurricanes are 4-0-0 versus the Islanders in the playoffs all-time.

The Carolina Hurricanes have a record of 80-54-9-11 versus the Islanders all-time.

Said something along the same lines recently. Anything can happen in the playoffs. We’ve all seen teams performing like the bruins have during the regular season get their doors blown off in the first round. Certainly not saying that’s going to happen but who knows. Bottom line is I’ll just be happy if they get in which just got harder with the likely loss of Nelson.

Everyone gushing about McDavid (and rightfully so) but those Draisaitl passes are unbelievable, especially the initial one

Hopefully the Leafs have a good game tonight after getting pummeled by us. Pens took care of business last night against the Avalanche hopefully the Stars take care of them tonight. They lose and we win against Columbus tomorrow we’ll have a pretty comfortable lead on them…

Once it was tweeted that Bailey was on the ice with Johnston & Wotherspoon before practice that was a good sign that Nelson was ok

I was waiting for the dreaded “upper body injury” tweet to be posted on here. We keep doing what we’re doing and get Barzal back a few games before the playoffs we could really be in a good spot. I should say as good as we can be against one of the Canes or Bruins.

They'll be a nice tune up for whoever comes next

Really, though, just get in...I'll be happy to stress over who they play if they can get to that point.

100%. If we get Barzal back before the playoffs I assume whichever team it is will not be wanting to play us if we go in reasonably healthy.

Lambert is just saving him for the PO’s like Tampa did with Kucherov.
