   > »Through 45 games this season under Lambert, the once stout Islanders sunk to the bottom of the league defensively. At five-on-five, the team dropped to 31st in shots against, conceding almost 68 attempts per 60 minutes of play. That ranked ahead of only the lowly San Jose Sharks. The team wasn’t just allowing shots against, but quality chances as well, especially off the rush. At the time of Lambert’s dismissal on Jan. 20, the Islanders were last in the league with 14.6 rush shots against per 60, according to Stathletes. »

And the team has really cleaned up the quality of those chances against, with an expected goal rate of 2.09 per 60 that stands as the best in the league since Jan. 21. »

The team has gone from 32nd in its rate of rush shots against to eighth in the league heading into Tuesday night, only allowing 10.9 per 60 since the coaching change. The team’s rush chances were also reduced, from the 24th-worst standing in the league during the Lambert era to the fifth-best over the last two months. »

   To summarize: The team has been A LOT better defensively, but the scoring has dried up. Only 9GF over the 6 game losing streak.

   is this some sort of NHL circlejerk?
