Six games into the 2025-26 National Hockey League season, it’s clear that the Edmonton Oilers are struggling early for a third consecutive season. After going 2-0-1 over their first three contests, the Oilers are now mired in a three-game losing skid, falling to the New York Islanders, New Jersey Devils, and Detroit Red Wings. Edmonton…

Mike and Dan recap the Islanders’ exciting first two wins of the season and the warts that are still very evident in their play so far. For a little while, they were 0-3 and staring down a quickly lost season. But two wins – neither perfect, but gutty and pesky – helped everyone breath easy […]

It’s a bit of a lighter week for the 2-3 Islanders, with another day before they host the (still winless) Sharks on Tuesday, the (shockingly Atlantic leading) Red Wings on Thursday, then visit Philadelphia on Saturday. With two wins at the end of last week, they avoided falling into a nightmare start, but a variety […]

After a pair of mistake-riddled losses to the Islanders and Devils, the Oilers made their way to Detroit to take on the red-hot Red Wings in search of simplicity. When the boys are getting caved in by errors, the best approach to climbing out of the hole is by playing simple hockey instead of trying…

The Islanders walked away from a back-and-forth afternoon in Ottawa with two regulation points after a stunning Anders Lee goal gave them their first lead of the game with 63 seconds left to go, setting up a 5-4 win. The Isles did well to come back multiple times, from 2-0, 3-2 and 4-3, but escaping […]

Today the New York Islanders face the Senators in Ottawa, where both teams have stumbled out of the gate amid modestly increased expectations over last year. The Senators, who finally broke through the playoff line last spring, they’re also dealing with injuries highlighted by Brady Tkachuk’s expected two-month departure due to surgery on his thumb. […]

The Edmonton Oilers kicked off their five-game road trip with a win over the Rangers on Tuesday night, and now the task is to keep the good times rolling against the winless New York Islanders. The Isles carried a minus-six goal differential into Thursday’s matchup with the Oilers — they’d nearly been outscored two-to-one through…

Bo Horvat notched his second career hat trick, David Rittich made 30 saves in his debut, the Isles scored an elusive empty net goal while surviving a pulled goalie, and they avoided an 0-4 start to get their first win of the season, 4-2 over the Edmonton Oilers.

Whenever their first standings point of 2025-26 comes, the Islanders will be the 32nd NHL team to get one. With the sadsack(TM) Sabres winning big last night over the Senators, the Islanders are the last team in the league with zero points and one of two teams (San Jose is the other) yet to win. […]

It’s early and all that, but the Islanders really need a win — hell, even an extra-time loss — to avoid all the terrible associations that would come with an 0-4 start. Buffalo and San Jose are the only other winless teams thus far, and that’s not great company to keep. Worse, their opponent on […]

The New York Islanders have zero standings points through their first three games but 18-year-old (and TOI leader) Matthew Schaefer has a point in each game. That could be a harbinger of how the 2025-26 transition season will go, we’ll see. It’s only three games in, but their power play is still whiffing, their franchise […]

Mike and Dan recap the Islanders’ first two games of the season, which were mostly bad except for two new guys who were actually trying to win. We asked them for a couple of wins, something they haven’t started a campaign with in ages. They did not do that, losing in Pittsburgh and against Washington […]

The 0-2 Islanders’ homestand continues tonight (duh, this afternoon) with a visit from the Winnipeg Jets, who’ve opened the season by announcing a long-term extension with one of their franchise players, Kyle Connor, who promptly scored a hat trick in their season-opening loss. With some line mixups during Saturday’s home opener, no wins yet, and […]

Another early game on tap for the Winnipeg Jets ( 1-1-0 ) as they head out on their first road trip of the 2025-26 NHL campaign, as they set to square off against the New York Islanders ( 0-2-0 ) when the puck eventually drops at noon Central.
The True Northers split their opening home stand versus a couple of Western Conference foes, while the Long Islanders clashed with a couple Metropolitan Division rivals only to walk away with a couple of narrow losses ( 4-3 PIT/4-2 WSH ).

The Islanders’ home opener was a disappointment, with the team neutralized by the Capitals in the first period, before they made it a little interesting later on in a 4-2 loss.

It might only be mathematical, but the Sabres are still in it. Once again the Buffalo Sabres have pulled back into the Eastern Conference wildcard race seemingly having corrected their slump with two straight wins beating Metro Division contenders New Jersey Devils and then their direct wildcard rivals New York Islanders .
This week the schedule does get a bit softer, but as we’ve already learned, Buffalo cannot really take any opponents for granted with how they’ve been playing recently. It...
