Brock Nelson found the back of the net against the Pittsburgh Penguins in the New York Islanders’ 5-4 overtime win on Feb. 20, a game they needed desperately to win. He darted up the ice with the puck and backhanded it into the net for the team’s first goal of the game. It was the
Jarmo Kekalainen’s decade-plus-long tenure as the Columbus Blue Jackets general manager came to an end when the team parted ways with him last week.

The 2023-24 seasons for the Los Angeles Kings and New York Islanders are somehow eerily similar and different. For starters, both teams sit in a tight wild card race in their respective conferences, both have made major moves for a top center in the trade market in recent seasons, and both fired their head coaches
As the trade deadline approaches, the New York Islanders are in a tough position. Ideally, the front office would probably like to buy, but they aren’t in a playoff position currently.
