5 BOROUGH SPORTS

Just what the Islanders needed. They’ve been abysmal at home all season and this was the spark they needed. Everyone in the Eastern Conference has been beating each other, which means it’s going to be a tight race. Like yesterday, the Isles will need to find ways to win close games. Getting that extra point in overtime and shootouts are so crucial in a strike-shortened season. Even though the Isles lost their last three games, this win puts them back into contention. If you look at the standings, the Islanders are only three points out from the eight seed. We’re only halfway into the season – plenty of hockey to go.
