The New York Islanders are ranked sixth in the Metropolitan Division, but are they better than that? We break down their strengths in goaltending with Ilya Sorokin and defense, and question marks on the wing. Mathew Barzal, Bo Horvat, and new additions Tony DeAngelo and Matias Maccelli are key. Our realistic outlook: 95-100 points and a playoff spot. We also revisit our bold predictions on the Isles finishing top three and Barzal's career year.
In this episode: Division Ranking and Why · Strengths and Question Marks · Season Outlook and Win Projection.
