They're 3-3-3 in regulation, while 2-0 and 1-0 in OT and SO. 1 regulation win against teams not located in Winnipeg, a team currently surviving on post regulation points even more than the Islanders. Other than the Caps, nobody else is winning all that much in the Metro either. Columbus, a league leading 3 OT wins, but 2-3-5 in regulation. Carolina, 3-3-4. Pittsburgh, 5-5-1.
So far, the Isles are somewhere in the mushy middle. Post regulation results are always glass half full/empty. You want to win, but why does it take you having to go that far into a game to win? Is getting to OT a sign of some deficiency during normal play, or a sign of buckling down and competing for every inch? The Caps are 6-2-4 in regulation, but suck in OT at 1-3. That's one of the issues with OT, or the SO; they're very random. Good teams can be bad in OT, bad teams can be good, etc.
