Snapping their losing streak may quiet trade rumors swirling around the Islanders, but it doesn’t make the schedule any easier.

They’d barely had time to savor their victory over Edmonton Friday night before they face the Pacific-leading Stars this afternoon at Nassau Coliseum.

Last in the Atlantic Division, the Isles nearly blew a three-goal lead Friday, but held on for a 4-2 win that ended their six-game skid.

During their downward spiral, they had joined the rest of the league in being linked to the Panthers in a possible deal for winger Valeri Bure.
