Reprieve. Rest. Refine. Then, right back at it.
The last month has been a grind to say the least for the New York Islanders. Monday night's 2-1 OT win at Philadelphia marked the Islanders' 14th game in the last 24 days - which featured three sets of back-to-backs - and was supposed to be the first stop of a five-game road trip. The team was originally scheduled to complete their fourth back-to-back set in a month with a trip to Boston on Tuesday, but the game was postponed on March 19 in accordance with the NHL's COVID Protocol.
