Every team in a playoff spot got a big fat regulation loss since Sat, Washington lost in Chicago Sunday. Ducks had two wins after losing 12 straight, and were in a playoff spot. They beat NYI earlier this year.

#NYI #isles Almost feel like I can just take the win on Friday tweet and repeat it. Just dominating on defense. #15 again with two this time, and Komarov great deflection. Almost feels like all four lines can beat teams now, and shots against phenomenal. Thrilled for team, fans.
