ELMONT, N.Y. — The Islanders know they need to start truckin’ if they have any hope of making the playoffs.
Thursday night’s efficient 4-1 win over the Sabres at UBS Arena after a 10-day layoff could be the sign of a good start.
All four lines and the three defense pairs were solid despite the long break. Semyon Varlamov made 36 saves for his second win this season — and second straight — and Mathew Barzal had a goal and two assists.
