The Islanders' shutdown pair of Travis Hamonic and Andrew MacDonald have had some unlucky moments while posting a league-worse minus-13 rating this season. "I scrutinize every game, I know how I play. I can confidently say I'm not playing the way the results show," said Hamonic after two goals Ottawa scored Sunday deflected off him first. "Even the first goal [on Sunday], I put my stick in the lane to block a shot, and are you kidding me? The good thing is, hopefully it's going to run out eventually." The two of them fought back from brutal plus-minus ratings last year and Hamonic went from a minus-10 to a plus-6, so don't be too quick to give up on him.
