IBO Boxing Honesty and Integrity
If the New York Islanders were going to make the playoffs, they were going to have to learn how to win on the road. They had that chance as they began a grueling nine-game road trip in Detroit tonight. This was a must win for the Isles are right in the thick of things fighting for the final wild card spot in the Eastern Conference, as well as their final trip to Joe Louis Arena where they haven’t won in three years.
Looking to show that their road woes were finally behind them, the Isles were victorious 3-1. Josh Bailey had a two point night, and Thomas Greiss was solid. The Isles have now won three out of the last four as they head to Montreal for another monster game Thursday night. Below is the social media recap:

Nielsen tripped over the linesman. Nevertheless.

When butch is telling us that there's too much rough stuff going on after the whistle, there's probably too much going on. #Isles #NHL

Josh Bailey could hit 50+ points this year. And to think I couldn't stand him last year. #GoodForYou #isles

I can't believe we were tanking for Nolan Patrick at one point. #Isles
