Weird Islanders: The Podcast! – Episode 84 – Ty Wishart
Former NHL defenseman Ty Wishart calls in from an Australian beach to talk about his globe-spanning playing career and his 21 games with the Islanders in the eventful 2010-11 season. Drafted 16th overall by the Sharks and traded to Tampa Bay in the deal for Dan Boyle, Ty Wishart got a quick education in the […]
Islanders Gameday: Get busy winning or get busy dying
If the regular season ended this morning, the New York Islanders would qualify for the playoffs by virtue of having more points, thanks to having played one more game, than Detroit, Columbus, or Philadelphia. Tonight that will not change but it can get either better or more fragile as they host the Flyers, who desperately […]
The Flyers’ playoff chase is alive — but is it actually worth it?
With another crucial game Thursday against Detroit, the Philadelphia Flyers find themselves on the outside looking in, but nearing the doorstep. A victory against the Red Wings and that pushes them to 88 points. Should they have any semblance of good fortune they had Tuesday night concerning the other four teams in the hunt (Islanders, Columbus, Ottawa, and Detroit) losing, it could put them into a playoff spot. That’s the smaller picture. Others might see this upcoming three-in-four as t...
Pens Points: Down by the Bay
Riding high after back-to-back victories over the New York Islanders and Detroit Red Wings, the Pittsburgh Penguins will be looking to keep the momentum going and get one step closer to locking down a playoff spot when they head to the Sunshine State this evening to take on the Tampa Bay Lightning. With their playoff […]
Islanders News: 0 for the back-to-back
Well that was 48 hours of frustration. At multiple points during both losses to the Penguins and Sabres, you thought the Islanders might at least get a point or more. In each case, things shifted suddenly and maddeningly. They wake up still in a playoff spot, but also still with their biggest competitors for that […]
Pens Points: Dominant back-to-back wins
Here are your Pens Points for this Wednesday morning… I dubbed Monday’s Pens Points headline as “A season-defining back-to-back.” Forty-eight hours after that was published, the Penguins came out the other side of that B2B with two dominant regulation wins, beating the Islanders on Monday and the Detroit Red Wings on Tuesday by a combined […]
Are They Still The Islanders?
It seemed like the only thing holding up the decision by the New York Islanders to move the Bridgeport Islanders to Hamilton, Ontario was the AHL Board of Governors. It was rumoured for a while before the announcement finally came that this would be the reality for 2026-27, but it still needed the rubber stamp from the league's membership. That vote took place today, and AHL President and CEO Scott Howson made it official by announcing that the Islanders would move into the renovated TD Colise...
Sabres 4, Islanders 3 (EN): Another game, another collapse
After yesterday’s 8-3 loss, the Islanders really needed this game to go well. And it almost did, as they came back twice, with Cal Ritchie and Anders Lee finding the back of the net for game tying goals. But then the Sabres reclaimed the lead late, taking advantage of bad defensive play by the Islanders, […]
Islanders Gameday: Big night for Game #76 in Buffalo
The Islanders are so, so, so badly in need of a bounce back from their horrific disassembly at home by the Pittsburgh Penguins on Monday night. Unfortunately, they have to do it against the Buffalo Sabres, who are vying for first overall in the conference. The Sabres are currently in a three-way tie with 98 […]
Anthony Mantha’s career year continues with one of the Penguins most dominant individual performances of the season
In terms of the standings and the shift in their odds of making the Stanley Cup Playoffs, the Pittsburgh Penguins 8-3 win over the New York Islanders on Monday night is one of their biggest wins of the 2025-26 season. It might be the biggest win. It was also one of the most impressive as […]
Penguins get playoff boost with big win vs. Islanders
The Penguins got a big boost last night towards earning a playoff spot with a massive win against the New York Islanders.

With […]
Pens Points: Lighting Up the Islanders
Trailing 3-1 in the second period and looking as if the wheels were coming loose, the Pittsburgh Penguins found their game at the perfect moment and stormed back with seven unanswered goals to secure a crucial two points over the New York Islanders on Monday night with a 8-3 victory on Long Island. [Pensburgh] Now […]
Penguins 8, Islanders 3: Things fall apart
The New York Islanders continue to surprise us. “Lose a critical home game to the Penguins” was definitely in our probability set, but “have the tables flipped in an 8-goal second period of an 8-3 blowout” was not. That 8-3 final looks like a 5-3 game with three Patrick Roy empty netters, but it wasn’t […]
Penguins/Islanders Recap: Pens chase Sorokin, demolish Islanders 8-3
Pregame There are lots of moving parts for the Penguins, who are using three different lines for tonight. The happiest change is that Sidney Crosby is able to return and Bryan Rust shrugs off his maintenance day yesterday to play too. Rickard Rakell stays at center for the second game in a row, this time […]
Islanders vs. Penguins [Game #75 thread]
It’s (for the moment) 2nd vs. 3rd in the Metro tonight in Elmont, as the Islanders host the Penguins for their final(??) meeting of the regular season, at least. If things stay as they are — they never do — these two teams would meet in the first round of the postseason and both would […]
Islanders Anxiety – Episode 367 – Little Bit of Everything
Mike and Dan recap a week in which the Islanders made us mad, then happy, then both in the same day before celebrating the Rangers elimination with a new Ranger Piece Theatre. The pendulum swung every way possible last week for the Islanders. An inexcusable loss to the lowly Blackhawks made the season look over. […]

Islanders vs. Penguins Gameday: Monumental matchup; Torts rides again
The Islanders close out their five-game homestand tonight, with all the stakes on the line. It’s part of a critical back-to-back — they’re all “critical” right now — that finishes tomorrow in Buffalo. But tonight they can inflict direct damage on a fellow playoff spot contender and potential first-round opponent. The Pittsburgh Penguins arrive having […]
Pens Points: A season-defining back-to-back
Here are your Pens Points for this Monday morning… With the regular season nearing its end, the Eastern Conference playoff race remains tightly contested, with about 10 teams battling for eight spots as momentum swings nightly.

Panthers collapse in second, lose 5-2 to Islanders
The Florida Panthers started strong, but a disastrous second period cost them in a 5-2 loss to the New York Islanders at UBS Arena. Matthew Tkachuk opened the scoring with a breakaway goal 8:06 into the first. Seth Jones sent a cherry-picking Tkachuk in alone on Ilya Sorokin and he pulled the keeper to the ice before roofing the puck on the backhand. Tkachuk’s second goal at 14:03 was prettier than his first as scored between his legs after being gifted the puck by Ondřej Palát after...
