IBO Boxing Honesty and Integrity
The Islanders were looking to head into 2017 with a victory and make it four wins in their last five games as they traveled to Winnipeg for a date with the Jets. After losing in Minnesota leading to Jaroslav Halak being put on waivers yesterday, Thomas Greiss played his first game officially as the Isles starter, while Casey Cizikas returned to the lineup after missing a few games in place of Anthony Beauvillier.
On to the game, where the Islanders prevailed 5-1 in a dominating performance. The Isles are now 10-0-1 in their last 11 New Year’s Eve affairs, and now will get a five day break before playing Friday in Colorado. Everyone have a safe and happy new year and enjoy the happy recap from tonight’s game:
I'm more than a little bummed the Jets didn't call up Brian Strait and Kevin Czuczman from Manitoba for this game against the #Isles.

That's Josh Bailey's team-leading 18th assist.

John Tavares has 26 pts, Josh Bailey has 23. If Bailey catches him somehow, #isles Twitter will piss all over themselves. #slapshotref

Make it 4 points in last 4 games for Strome who only had 3 in his previous 22 games played #isles

#Isles have a 3 goal lead. What could possibly go wrong?

Great patience by Strome there. #isles

#Isles have scored at least 4 goals in 5 straight games. Not a bad way to end the year.

New Years Eve is probably a little less miserable with a 4 goal lead #isles

Icing on the cake by Andrew Ladd #Isles pic.twitter.com/4SAHgyOVqP
— Rob Taub (@RTaub_) January 1, 2017
Just like that, Andrew Ladd has only 3 goals less than John Tavares #Isles
— IslesBlog (@IslesBlog) January 1, 2017
So, I guess we should've waived Halak a month ago? #isles
