Bo Horvat: "We gotta get back to playing the way we were the first 10 games and thatās playing well defensively, reloading hard and making it tougher on teams. Right now weāre giving up too many shots.ā

.@NHLPlayerSafety has fined #SJSharks Mason Marchment $5,000, the maximum allowable under the CBA, for roughing #Isles Victor Eklund.
Victor Eklund is second on the Islanders in goals this season with 6.
The rookie has 9 points in 17 games, is tied for 3rd among all NHL rookies in goalsā¦ and heās scored in THREE straight games.
He also leads the Islanders with 52 hits.
You can see the confidence growing every night. Heās producing, playing physical, and quickly becoming one of my favorite players to watch on this team.
How high is Eklundās ceiling? #isles #NHL

Mason Marchment was given a double minor for these ungloved punches on Victor Eklund.
Eklund had laid a hit on Sherwood that was called a 5 minute major, then rescinded entirely.

Gets a fine. No suspension. #Isles
I gotta get something off my chestā¦
Saturdayās game against New Jersey was rough.
I thought the Isles were alright through the first two periods, but the third got away from them. They finished with just 23 shots on goal and still scored 4 times. Meanwhile, New Jersey needed 50 shots to get 5 and eventually took the extra point in OT.
Thereās A LOT this team needs to clean up, and Iām not blaming anyone but the Islanders for blowing that game.
BUTTTTā¦
The officiating was horrendous.
And before any Devils fans jump on meā¦ saying the officiating was bad does NOT mean Iām excusing the Islanders for losing.
Both things can be true.
The Isles deserved plenty of blame for that loss AND the officiating can still deserve criticism.
Those two opinions arenāt mutually exclusive. š¤·š¼āāļø

Not one. Not two. Three games in a row that the refs have been god awful. Never seen multiple players go up to the refs mad like that. Rightfully so. #isles
