N.Y. Islanders: Isles Whitewash Feeble Flyers

From the desk of: NO SLEEP TILL BELMONT
NATIONAL HOCKEY LEAGUE
2019   PLAYOFFS   2020
Islanders lead Flyers;1-0
I - NYI 4; PHI 0





Semyon Varlamov has now stopped his last fifty shots on goal, and throws his second straight shutout.  Meanwhile, the Islanders continue smothering the competition.  They have yet to allow thirty shots on goal by any team (FLA, WAS, PHI) since entering the bubble.  The Isles also continue getting scoring across the board.  Thirteen different Islanders have now scored at least one goal.  On Monday they get four unanswered goals from Andy Greene in the first, and three goals in the third by Jean-Gabriel Pageau, Anders Lee and Devon Toews (empty net).  In fact, they've outscored their opponents 35-15 through ten games to date.  They didn't compromise themselves by loitering in the box.  So far at even strength they've proven unstoppable.  This is a team which put together a ten game win streak back in October.  However, they were just 2-11 in their last thirteen games leading up to the pandemic shut-down.  They are now 8-2 over their last ten while scoring more than twice as often as their competition.
