NEW YORK _ No rust issues here. The Islanders looked as crisp over a full 60 minutes as they have all season.
They started strong, defended well, again got solid goaltending and managed to push the pace at times while not yielding when the Coyotes were able to dominate puck possession.
The Islanders, following three days of practice and an off day, extended their winning streak to five with a 4-2 win on Thursday night at NYCB Live's Nassau Coliseum.
