Excuse us for getting some end-of-season content out before the season is technically over.
Even with one last game left before things officially wrap, the Islanders facing the Blue Jackets on Thursday night, it felt like time to start taking some big-picture looks at the season and how things went so wrong for the Islanders.
So we’re starting with 10 stats that told the story of the season.
The goal here was to find some less obvious stuff that explained what went wrong and why, providing some direction on what the Islanders can do going forward. All advanced stats cited are from Evolving Hockey.
