Happy Halloween, New York Islanders fans.

The Islanders just lost both of their back-to-back games in regulation. They fell 3-1 to the Anaheim Ducks on Tuesday before getting shut out by the Columbus Blue Jackets 2-0 on Wednesday.

They now head to Buffalo to face the Sabres on Friday night, looking to turn things around.

To get in the Halloween spirit, here are 13 scary facts about the Islanders so far through 10 games:
