Things are always changing in Islanders country from one minute to the next. One minute, the team is riding high on a three-game winning streak, the next, one of the Isles promising rookies gets sent down. That’s exactly what happened yesterday, when stunningly Josh Ho-Sang was demoted to the AHL before the team departed for Minnesota in the afternoon. People are still trying to wrap their heads around the move, but the “show must go on”. And that meant New York coming away victorious tonight in the first game of this mini two-game roadie.
It was a homecoming for Brock Nelson, Anders Lee, and Nick Leddy, as the Isles fell 6-4. Their three game winning streak is over. They’re back at it Saturday night in Nashville. Social media recap below:

I can’t wait for Alan Quine to get in the lineup over Beauvillier. It’s coming. #isles

I can't think of anything more infuriating than watching an #isles Power Play right now pic.twitter.com/p7UG2xr24w

Mark freaking Parrish thinks the isles are skating slow.

Cal Clutterbuck is on your power play 1. With Pulock in the press box and Ho-Sang in Bridgeport. #Isles pic.twitter.com/2iQrxadUKk

I'm serious, I've played/coached/watched hockey a very long time..At an absolute loss right now regarding the PP. What's after atrocious.

16 teams in the NHL allowed 5 shorthanded goals or less the entire SEASON last year…the #isles have allowed 5 in less then a month
