Islanders begin Brooklyn farewell with a dud
The Isles were steamrolled by Montreal in first of final three Barclays games
The New York Islanders aren’t long for Brooklyn.
They might not be in the Eastern Conference playoff race much longer either if their slumping ways continue.
Playing the first of their final three games at Downtown’s Barclays Center Tuesday night, the Isles put together one of their most putrid performances of the campaign, dropping a 6-2 decision to the Montreal Canadiens in front of 12,788 frustrated fans on the corner of Atlantic and Flatbush.
