Much like in the Star Wars Universe, there are things that happened that make us want to think there was no Episode I (Subtitled "The Crappy PK"). But then, things turned around just a little bit, and we have some sort of award winner on our hands. And now, off to the chunks...
For this episode, we'll revisit the first 10 games for each team, compare their second 10 games, then look at games 1 - 20 as a whole. These stats don't include anything past game 20 for any team.
In the first act, we'll take a look at 5v5 and how the Islanders stacked up against the rest of the NHL.

In the first 10 games, the Isles were near the top of the league. Games 11-20 saw a mild regression, but if they had put up this same SF/60 in the first 10 games, they would have been in 7th. For the first 20 games, the Isles find themselves at the top of a big group trying to chase down Chicago and Minnesota.
How did all this shooting translate into things that actually count?

Goal production at 5v5 dropped slightly in games 11-20, but for the whole year, the Isles find themselves second only to the Lightning. How sustainable is this, though?

During the second chunk of games, shooting percentage fell back towards the middle of the pack, but is still in the top 5 for the NHL.
So we're doing pretty good on offense at 5 v 5. How do we do at holding the opponent in check?

As much as we've regressed a little on the offensive side of things, we managed not to regress as much as other teams on the defensive side. Even though we allowed about .25 shots more per 60, we jumped up to 5th for games 11-20, and we sit in 8th after 20 games.
How is our goaltending handling those shots? Can we talk about it yet?

Where we were not so hot in games 1 - 10, we actually got much better in games 11-20, but still aren't top 10 in the league. Chopping 3/4 of a goal per 60 off our total, though, managed to move us out of the bottom 10 for games 1-20.
How much of that rests on the goaltending?

8 - 2 over 10 games getting basically league average goaltending at 5v5. Still mired in the bottom 10, but heading in the right direction.
Two other categories to look at in 5v5. First up, how many more shots do we get than we allow?

The numbers aren't as gaudy as what's happening out west, but still second best in the conference after 20 games.
And then there's the 'luck' factor. A look at 5v5 PDO:

Lots of times, a 14-6 start could be chalked up to insane, unsustainable scoring, goaltending, or both. In the Isles' case, though, that 14-6 has been put up with a PDO of 100.1,
Special Teams
The Islanders 5v4 power play was decidedly average in the first 10 games. Howdid it do in games 11-20?

The Isles got even better at putting shots on net putting shots on net with the man advantage, but are 4th in the Metro while being 6th in the league. How many of those pucks make it into the net?

As you'd expect for having a lot of shots but not so many goals, the shooting % is below league averages
And now to check out the other side of the coin. Is the dumpster fire still raging?
