Islanders News: Blackhawks down
Dec 5, 2022 - 12:10 PMThe Islanders piled up some shots, got some timely scoring and a shutout, and ended their latest losing skid at two games.
It was just the Blackhawks, but that’s the kind of team you need a complete and (mostly) uneventful performance against: Get it done and move onward. The Isles have done that in both meetings this season to sweep the season mini-series.
