It’s a strange October: Montreal and Detroit lead the Atlantic, Utah leads the West, and the Rangers are last in the East.
Their four-game winning streak stopped via shootout, the Islanders (currently still in the second wild card) are now preparing for tomorrow night in Boston. That’s before the road trip continues with a tough back-to-back in Carolina and D.C.
Alex Romanov is eligible to come off IR any time, but we’ll see if there are any updates to his status today.
If Romanov is still unable to, seems likely hometown rookie Marshall Warren — two assists in his debut — would get the call again instead of putting Adam Boqvist in on his offside.
Sunday’s scores include the Devils winning their eighth in a row, which is a concern, and the Flames ending their eight-game losing streak by beating the Rangers, which is hilarious.
