Latest news and updates about the Islanders
Simon Holmstrom had his biggest game as an Islander and Ilya Sorokin kept the Wild barrage at bay as the Isles won in overtime, 4-3 in Minnesota. This was an occasion where the Islanders were not the better side, but they refused to wilt nor slow their tempo against one of the top teams in […]
The Islanders road trip chapter 2 is Saturday night in Minnesota, where Bill Guerin is riding high after acquiring Quinn Hughes while absorbing shots for not taking Your Favorite Player on the U.S. Olympic team that will play next month in the half-constructed rink in Italy. The Wild are tied with Dallas at 60 points […]
Your morning round-up of the latest from Blueshirt Banter, Rangers News, and updates from around the NHL
Along with author and Capitals expert Ted Starkey, we remember Richard Zednik, a talented player and borderline legend for three NHL teams, but a footnote in Islanders history. Zednik started his career with the bang, as an exciting rookie on the Capitals 1998 Stanley Cup final team. He hit a new level after being traded […]
The New York Islanders followed up their gate-busting nine-goal romp over New Jersey with one measly goal against the Predators, falling 2-1 via shootout in Nashville. The outcome gives them a valuable point and keeps them in second place in the Metro (for now) as they begin their seven-game road trip, though they’ll feel it […]
The hangover (hopefully not) from the Islanders’ raucous and absurd 9-0 romp over the New Jersey Devils Tuesday has hopefully subsided as they begin the first stop in a season-longest seven-game road trip tonight in Nashville. They’ll presumably continue without Bo Horvat in the lineup, though he is skating and on the road trip with […]

On Tuesday night, the Islanders took a 9-0 win over the Devils, and you have to think people are getting fired after this one. [Devils NHL] Things gotta change: Nico news: “While every game […]
Mat Barzal scored the game-winning goal 68 seconds in and then the New York Islanders decided to add eight more, just for insurance. There was more, of course — much more — to their 9-0 blowout of the New Jersey Devils, including a classic story of hockey goaltending. Ilya Sorokin made a triumphant return from […]
The New Jersey Devils hit rock bottom tonight. They got blown out 8-4 by the Colorado Avalanche on October 28. They had an epic meltdown against the Philadelphia Flyers in a 6-3 loss on November 22. They lost 4-1 to a terrible Bruins team that was missing David Pastrnak and Charlie MacAvoy on December 6. […]

Last Devils Game On Sunday night, the Devils lost to Carolina (what else is new) by a score of 3-1. I’m not going to dive into BooGate in this post. I think at this point, everything that needed to be said about that has already been said in other posts, either from the game thread […]
Matthew Schaefer scored two roof-raising goals in Saturday night’s win despite feeling unwell with what at least one report said was the flu. As he missed Monday’s practice and was listed “day to day (illness),” I’m struck that I’m not so much concerned that the Isles are less likely to win with him out of […]
The Florida Panthers (22-16-3) open the second half of the schedule, and a key six-game road trip, when they face off against the Toronto Maple Leafs (19-15-7) tonight in the center of the hockey universe. Florida bounced back from a borderline embarrassing performance at the Winter Classic by joining the Boston Bruins and the New York Islanders as they only teams to hand the Colorado Avalanche a regulation loss this season. Sam Bennett and Aaron Ekblad scored unassisted goals and Daniil ...

The Islanders are in a Tuesday-Thursday-Saturday pattern over the next couple of weeks as they finish their brief homestand with the Devils on Tuesday before a seven-game western road trip. That one starts with Nashville and Minnesota before crossing the border for Winnipeg and a full northwestern four-pack. But first, one more at home with […]
Matthew Schaefer scored two highlight reel goals, including a tying goal and an overtime winner, as the Islanders came back and beat the Maple Leafs, 4-3, Saturday night on Long Island. Rumors of Auston Matthews’ demise have been greatly exaggerated, as the maligned Maple Leafs captain continued his tear with two goals*, but the Islanders’ […]
Craig Berube addressed the media after his team’s 4-3 overtime loss to the New York Islanders, which dropped the Maple Leafs’ record to 19-15-7. On the team’s performance: Going into the third period, I didn’t think we pushed enough. I thought we didn’t have the puck enough and sat back a little too much. We […] The post Craig Berube on Morgan Rielly’s -4 game vs. the Islanders: “Tonight was a tough one, but he’s played some really good hockey for us this year… I’m not worried about it” appe...
Multi-point nights from Brendan Brisson and Scott Morrow helped lead the Wolf Pack to victory in Bridgeport.
Two more goals!
The Islanders host the Toronto Maple Leafs Saturday night on Long Island with a couple more lineup updates. Marshall Warren has been returned to Bridgeport, which — along with yesterday’s practice — would seem to indicate another run of Adam Boqvist on his offhand on the third pair with Scott Mayfield. And Bo Horvat, as […]
The New York Islanders ' leading scorer is out once again. After spending 15 days out of the lineup in December, Bo Horvat returned for the last four games, but was injured again last night. He exited in the third period of Thursday's game against the Utah Mammoth. But the team is breathing a bit of a sigh of relief after the prognosis came in. It was not as bad as originally thought. Bo Horvat avoids the worst-case scenario. Out this week for sure, hopeful to be day-to-day after re-evaluation...
