ST. LOUIS — There was a certain predictability to the Islanders’ latest win. And the Blues’ latest loss.
The Blues expectedly came out skating hard after management took them to task for their poor play. The Islanders weathered the push for the most part and, buoyed, they followed with a four-goal second period.
It finished in a 5-2 victory for the Islanders — with two potential goals overturned for the Blues — on Thursday night at Enterprise Center as they extended their winning streak to five. They can sweep this three-game Midwestern swing against the Red Wings on Saturday afternoon.
