The Islanders have kept from getting out over their skis about a respectable start on the power play. “Work in progress” still is the phrase of choice, no matter whom you ask.
The progress, though, does feel worthy of acknowledgment, with the 5-on-4 unit converting at a 26.66 percent clip after Saturday’s 5-3 loss to the Lightning at UBS Arena.
At such a small sample, that only equates to 4-for-15, but when the yearslong state of this power play is taken into account, baby steps look like big ones.
