Darche, Reinforcement Hunting, Pulls Off A Rare Local One-Two
Darche leveraged LTIR and patience to improve Islanders depth, acquiring Carson Soucy and Ondrej Palat during a pivotal stretch.
Questions about the New York Islanders’ ability to hold a playoff spot came to the forefront over the course of their seven-game road trip. They went 3-3-1, weren’t the better team in any of the games, ending the over two-week trek with an uninspiring 5-1 loss at the hands of Lane Lambert’s Seattle Kraken.
The negative noise only grew louder after they were shut out in their return home, falling 5-0 to the Buffalo Sabres.
