We just havent put any good ones in a row.The Islanders (5-7-3) are having the same issues, albeit on a more serious scale. New York has won consecutive games just once this season and has lost seven of its last 10 (3-4-3).The Islanders have either led or been tied in the third period in seven of their 10 losses. They gave up the game-tying goal with 13.6 seconds remaining in regulation on Saturday night.With just 13 points this season, the Islanders are only one point ahead of the Carolina Hurricanes for last place in the Eastern Conference and in danger of falling out of the playoff race by Thanksgiving.Just got to focus on the positives right now, Islanders head coach Jack Capuano said following Saturdays defeat. When youre going through a stretch like this, the last thing you want to do is have negativity. Theres enough negativity around, so we just want to have a singular focus, continue to concentrate and hopefully the breaks will come.A pair of No. 1 goaltenders are likely to be in net.

Bishop earned the win over the Islanders in Tampa Bay last Thursday, when he stopped 26 shots in a 4-1 victory that improved his career record against New York to 6-4-1.Islanders goalie Jaroslav Halak has cemented his standing by starting the last six games.
