ELMONT, N.Y. — It probably is too late to qualify for the playoffs, but the Islanders now are playing some of their best hockey of this lackluster season.
On Saturday, they defeated the Stars, 4-2, at UBS Arena before a youthful crowd on Nickelodeon Day, extending their point streak to six games (5-0-1).
Brock Nelson had his fourth career hat trick, and now has a career-high 27 goals this season.
