There have been enough collapses in the third period from the New York Islanders that it’s hard to keep track. At this point, it’s a weekly occurrence as they’ll enter the period with the lead and end up on the losing end one way or another. It’s hard to say which defeat was the worst
New York Islanders
In today’s NHL rumors rundown, Milan Lucic has been arrested on a domestic incident charge. He’ll be taking a leave from the Boston Bruins. Meanwhile, the Calgary Flames were extremely close to signing Noah Hanifin. Now, is the only way he gets signed so that he can be traded? Are the New York Islanders looking
The New York Islanders were eager to bounce back after a rough loss against the Detroit Red Wings on Oct. 30 where they blew a 2-0 lead and lost 4-3 in overtime. Against the Washington Capitals, they played a yawner of a game, particularly with a third period that had no goals and little action,
The Adam Pelech and Ryan Pulock duo has been a staple of the defense for the New York Islanders. The top pair has shut down the best offenses in the league and is an integral part of the team’s success, especially on the defensive end of the ice. Ryan Pulock, New York Islanders (Jess Starr/The
The NHL regular season kicks off this coming week, with the first set of games on Tuesday, Oct. 10. Perhaps the most competitive division in the league is the Metropolitan. There were quite a few changes in the Metro this offseason, which we reviewed earlier this summer. For this article, let’s look at the strengths
In the Oct. 2nd preseason game against the New Jersey Devils, Mathew Barzal scored two goals and added an assist. He was the bright spot in a 6-5 New York Islanders defeat as he found the back of the net twice and is showing signs that he’s ready to become an elite player. The part
Before every season, it’s always fun to make predictions which in all likelihood, will be inaccurate. One year ago, of the five bold New York Islanders predictions that were made, only two were close and the others weren’t even in the ballpark (Anthony Beauvillier playing on the top line aged poorly). The Islanders head into
Last season, the Vegas Golden Knights cruised through the Stanley Cup Playoffs, going 16-4 and taking the Final in only five games. Two of their best skaters, Jack Eichel and Jonathan Marchessault, led the way by combining for 19 goals and 32 assists while a great defensive unit stifled opposing forwards. What makes the Golden
Every player comes into a season with the expectation that they are at the start of a career year, but few realize that hope. Last season, many of the teams in the ultra-competitive Metropolitan Division succeeded or failed based on the ability of players like Jack Hughes, Alexis Lafreniere, and Martin Necas to have a
The big news in the NHL this week was the Auston Matthews extension. The Toronto Maple Leafs signed him to a four-year, $13.2 million per year deal that makes their best player the highest-paid in the NHL. The extension prevents Matthews from entering free agency and testing the market. But it also puts the Maple
It’s a name that if you are a fan of the New York Islanders, you should start to take notice of. Matthew Maggio, of the Windsor Spitfires, was drafted by the Islanders in the fifth round of the 2022 NHL Draft. He had an outstanding season for the Spitfires, leading the Ontario Hockey League (OHL)
In today’s NHL rumors rundown, the Calgary Flames are going to retire Miikka Kiprusoff’s jersey this coming season. Meanwhile, the trade rumor linking the Boston Bruins to the New York Islanders might have not been a rumor at all. Finally, things have quieted down in Carolina. Does that mean the Hurricanes have nothing on the
Alex DeBrincat has been traded to the Detroit Red Wings. The blockbuster deal puts an end to the offseason drama with the Ottawa Senators involving one of their best players and caps off the biggest move of the summer. The Red Wings sent multiple pieces to the Senators for DeBrincat, but the trade is worthwhile
Alex DeBrincat is on the trade block. The star forward and restricted free agent (RFA) has struggled to reach a long-term agreement with the Ottawa Senators and it’s only a matter of time before he is moved in a blockbuster deal.

The New York Islanders have a few options for the 2023 NHL Entry Draft. Ideally, they target forwards with their second- and fourth-round selections to add a spark to the offense. If a great defense prospect falls to them, they can target defensemen with the hopes of adding a youthful presence to their unit. Related:
When it comes to Josh Bailey of the New York Islanders, fans face a familiar conundrum. You either love him or hate him. He is the longest-tenured player on the Islanders and recently celebrated 1,000 NHL games. The Islanders selected Bailey ninth overall in the first round of the 2008 NHL Draft, and since his
The New York Islanders had their 2022-23 season end in disappointment. While they made the playoffs as a wild-card team in the Eastern Conference, they lost in the First Round to the Carolina Hurricanes in a six-game series. The Islanders won two games in the series but were outmatched, and the First Round showed the
One thing the New York Islanders clearly struggled with all season was the lack of scoring. They are a team that has to scratch and claw for every goal. The bottom six forward group had some pieces that contributed, but overall, it wasn’t enough. Hudson Fasching was a nice surprise, fitting on the third line,
