The New York Islanders were thrilled in the summer of 2024 when they won the right to land undrafted Russian scorer Maxim Tsyplakov. The physical forward made a solid transition to the NHL, recording 10 goals and 25 assists for 35 points in 77 games last season with 140 hits during his rookie campaign. He was re-signed to a two-year, $4.5 million deal to avoid arbitration this past offseason. But now, he's landed in coach Patrick Roy's doghouse due to his struggles in his sopho...

We welcome back our friend Joe Buono of IslesFix to rediscover Mathieu Schneider, an excellent defenseman who made a big impact on the Islanders in a surprisingly short period of time. The “other” piece of the disastrous Kirk Muller trade, Schneider was a born-and-bred New Yorker and the rare player who actually looked forward to […]

The Islanders kept rolling and kept pace in the East with a 5-2 win over the Anaheim Ducks, buoyed by a 3-0 first period including two Anders Lee power play goals that sent him ahead of Brock Nelson in the all-time franchise rankings. The win was tempered by the sight of Bo Horvat going down, […]

They’re not your father’s Ducks! Or at least not your older brother’s Ducks, or something. Tonight the Islanders host a Fairly Strong Ducks of Anaheim team that is first in its division at a very respectable 19-10-1. After years of “very tough negotiator” Pat Verbeek at the helm, it seems he just needed to hire […]

The Florida Panthers (14-12-2) will make its second-ever trip to the Beehive State to face the Utah Mammoth (14-14-3) at Delta Center tonight to open a four-game road trip that carries a high degree of difficulty.
Florida won in two different fashions over the weekend to finish off a rough six-game homestand (2-3-1) on a positive note. After beating the Columbus Blue Jackets 7-6 in overtime on Saturday, the Cats got back to basics to defeat the New York Islanders 4-1 on Sunday. Uvis Balin...

On December 8th in 1987, Philadelphia Flyers netminder Ron Hextall fired a puck the length of the ice into an empty Boston Bruins net becoming the first goalie to score a goal in a NHL game.
Though New York Islanders backstop Billy Smith had been credited with a goal eight years earlier, it was Colorado Rockies defenceman Rob Ramage who in fact last touched the puck. Thus, Hextall was the

The Tampa Bay Lightning will have to carry on without their starting goaltender Andrei Vasilevskiy. The team announced on Monday, Vasilevskiy has been placed on the injured reserve, , and at this time, his injury is a complete mystery. The Russian netminder last played on Dec.2 against the New York Islanders when he allowed two goals. He's since been ruled day-to-day and then missed games against the Pittsburgh Penguins and Islanders on Saturday, and will miss his third in a row against ...

Mike and Dan enjoy being proven wrong by the Islanders, who won three of their tough games this week before losing to the Panthers on Sunday afternoon. Last week, things were not looking good.

The Florida Panthers concluded a rough six-game homestand on a high note, delivering a complete effort to beat the New York Islanders 4-1 at Amerant Bank Arena.
Florida opened the scoring at the 12:14 mark. After A.J. Greer lost the handle behind the net, Mackie Samoskevich took firm possession and sent a bounce pass off the boards back to Uvis Balinksis. The Latvian defenseman notched his first of the season when his wrist shot from the left point eluded David Rittich, who was screened b...

The Islanders couldn’t complete the Florida sweep, though all things considered they can come away marginally pleased to have exited the back-to-back with a couple points. They finished it with a 4-1 loss to the Panthers that they described as “out of sync,” while a positive-looking Patrick Roy said they can take away some learning […]

The Florida Panthers (13-12-2) will conclude a disappointing six-game homestand when they host the rising New York Islanders (16-10-3) late this afternoon at Amerant Bank Arena.
Sam Bennett (1G/3A), Brad Marchand (1G/3A) and Carter Verhaeghe (2G/1A) combined for eleven points in Florida’s wild 7-6 overtime victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets that saw Bennett take a pass from Marchand and beat Elvis Merzlikins with four seconds to go in the extra session. Seth Jones had a goal and an as...

For the second time in a week, Ilya Sorokin had the Tampa Bay Lightning’s number. After he stopped 27-of-28 shots in the Lightning’s 2-1 loss on December 3, he was even better on Saturday night, denying all 32 shots they threw at him in a 2-0 win. Calum Ritchie broke the scoreless tie in the third period and Casey Cizikas sealed the win with an empty-net goal. Jonas Johansson, making his second start in a row, stopped 17-of-18 shots.
Johansson started in place of Andrei Vasilevskiy, who m...

This one was a bit of a snoozer to start — not much action, save for Ilya Sorokin standing tall and the Islanders hitting the post a few times.
