NEW YORK -- The New York Islanders know all too well how playoff aspirations can be ruined by a poor start. They will look to keep reminding Edmonton of that Tuesday night when the skidding Oilers begin a pivotal four-game East Coast trip during an interconference clash at Barclays Center. The Islanders and Oilers continued traveling in opposite directions Sunday night. New York picked up its sixth win in eight games with a 6-4 victory over the visiting Colorado Avalanche. Host Edmonton fell to the Detroit Red Wings 4-0 for its fifth loss in seven games. when a 6-10-4 record through Thanksgiving weekend left New York in a hole from which it could not recover.,The recent surge by the Islanders (8-5-1) has put them in much better shape than a year ago who was named head coach on Jan. 17 and steered the team to a 24-12-4 finish that left the club one point shy of the final Eastern Conference playoff spot.,The Islanders turned things around last season under Doug Weight However, even though Weight has overseen a solid start in his first full season,Authentic Jordan Eberle jersey, he is nowhere near satisfied,Authentic Ryan Nugent-Hopkins jersey, especially after New York gave up two goals in the final 30 seconds of the Sunday win. "Listen,Authentic Connor McDavid jersey, no one's trying to ignore guys in coverage and sleep,adidas Vincent Trocheck jersey, but that's what happened -- it's a shame," Weight said. "It's two points, and we've got to get better from it, somehow. I'm not going to -- I refuse to put it in a cabinet. I just cannot do that. So I won't do that." The Oilers (4-8-1) are at a juncture where any points will look like good points. Edmonton, fueled by rookie superstar Connor McDavid, snapped the NHL's longest playoff drought last season when it reached the Western Conference semifinals. The Oilers were a popular pick to reach the Stanley Cup this season.
