How do you get to Texas, the old joke goes: Go south till you smell it, then west till you step in it.
The Islanders are in Dallas tonight where they’ll step in it, alright. The Stars are a perennial contender off to another great start, 12-4-3, and of course the Isles lost both games to them last year. In the West, their .711 points percentage trails only the Colorado Avalanche, who just defeated the Isles in a closer-than-the-score 4-1 final Sunday.
