CHICAGO — This looks a whole lot like rock bottom for the Islanders. The team’s four-game road trip from hell was capped off by a 4-3 overtime loss to the Blackhawks — a team that more closely resembles a band of AHL misfits with much of its lineup injured than…
CHICAGO — Hudson Fasching’s game is almost tailor-made for a bottom-six role. He gets north. He retrieves pucks. He forechecks. He’s pesky. He plays in a straight line. It’s a role that’s allowed Fasching to carve out a place on the Islanders’ roster and in their lineup over the past…
