Latest news and updates about the Islanders
Tavares out, and McKenna promoted.
The Islanders are in town tonight after we swept their AHL team three games in row last week.
The Islanders are back in Toronto for the second and final time in this young season, The Leafs are coming off a loss where they benched their first-overall pick Gavin McKenna, for reasons Justin Bourne is not feeling. Kirill Marchenko had a hat trick playing with John Tavares, who left the game with an injury […]
Islanders lose to Senators 2-1. The Islanders played a game in Ottawa against an upset Senators team that was upset. The Islanders were coming off narrowly beating the Vancouver Canucks, who are one of the worst teams in the National Hockey League. The Senators, however, are coming off an embarrassing loss against a weak St. […]
ZUUUUB IS BACK!
Hey everyone, glad to be back for another season of recaps for our favorite team that tortures us constantly! The Islanders stuck around in this one for longer than they probably deserved, earning a point on the road and dragging the game out to a shootout by killing a full two minute penalty in OT. […]
The Islanders visit the 5-2 Ottawa Senators, who are dealing with the blow of learning William “Eklund The Lesser” is out 10-12 weeks with ankle surgery. Yeah, well, at least you got seven games out of him, say Romanov fans. It sounds like Semyon Varlamov, who took the option on today’s morning skate, will start […]
Unmoveable Object vs. Unmoveable Object
The Ottawa Senators are off to a terrific start in 2026-27 despite being shorthanded, sitting at 5-2-0 and tied for first in the Atlantic Division through seven games. That’s largely without star defenseman Jake Sanderson and entirely without reliable blueliner Artem Zub, who were key pieces of the Sens advancing to the Stanley Cup Playoffs […] The post Senators getting tons of good news ahead of clash with Islanders appeared first on ClutchPoints .
The Vancouver Canucks (2-6) are out to snap a five-game losing skid when they visit the Florida Panthers (3-2-2) at Amerant Bank Arena in Sunrise, FL. Tonight’s game is scheduled to begin at 4 pm PT. The Canucks return to action following a 3-2 loss to the New York Islanders on Tuesday night. What we…
Artem Zub is also expected to make his 2026-27 debut Thursday against the Islanders.
The Islanders begin a short Ontario road trip with a visit to Ottawa tonight, followed by a second visit to Toronto on Saturday. The Senators are without Brady Tkachuk (who had a hat trick the other night) due to classic Sibling Envy. Speaking of brothers, they’re also without Eklund the Lesser after a foot/ankle injury. […]
The Vancouver Canucks are one NHL team that has had issues reaching contender status since their last trip to the playoffs under Rick Tocchet as a fringe candidate. Once the team dealt players like J.T. Miller back to the Rangers and Bo Horvat to the Islanders , there was a real drop-off in talent aside from Elias Pettersson. Raty was acquired in a trade for the Canucks former captain, Horvat, forward Anthony Beauvillier, and a conditional 2023 first-round pick. Raty was considered...
Almost had em. Oh that was PAINFULLY close to a tying goal. Like the effort at least. #Canucks pic.twitter.com/Wl0yRgyTIT — Lachlan Irvine (@LachInTheCrease) October 14, 2026 The Vancouver Canucks were just a second too late as they dropped a 3-2 decision to the New York Islanders. So far on the road trip, this was the…
Good news, everyone! The Vancouver Canucks didn’t give up five or more goals on the night, as they managed to keep things close in a 3-2 loss to Bo Horvat and the New York Islanders. Which part of you might be thinking that sounds a tad bit snarky, but honestly, it’s not meant to…
The Islanders did not make it easy on themselves, but they got what you’d consider a pretty necessary two points amid the 84-game slog of a regular season. The Vancouver Canucks came in on a tailspin and the Isles had a good first period to open a 2-0 lead that made it seem like the […]
The Islanders won a winnable game against the Vancouver Canucks 3-2. There are a lot of ties between these teams. Brayden Schenn, a key forward for the Islanders, has a brother, Luke, on the Canucks. They both have played more than 1,000 games in the National Hockey League. That is not the only tie between […]

The Islanders host the Vancouver Canucks in their best chance of the season to get back to .500, briefly. Ilya Sorokin is set to get the start against a team that is struggling. It will be another Meeting of the Schenns, brothers who’ve combined to play over 2,200 NHL regular season games and each get […]
Manny Malhotra says dropping Zeev Buium to a third pair alongside Luke Schenn for tonight’s game against the New York Islanders ‘isn’t a step backward’ for the promising 20-year-old defenceman. Speaking to media on Long Island after the Vancouver Canucks morning skate, the head coach was asked about the message being sent to Buium by…
The Vancouver Canucks (2-5) face the New York Islanders (2-3) at UBS Arena tonight. Opening faceoff is set for 4:45 pm PT. The game is one of 16 on the NHL schedule and is part of the league’s Frozen Frenzy. It’s one of two nights this season when all 32 teams are in action….
The Islanders continue their mediocrity-destined season with a visit from the sadsack Canucks, who just lost to a “gritty, resilient” Rangers team, so you know we’re screwed. The Canucks are 2-5 and have lost four in a row, so they are due an uplifting win on Long Island. First Islanders Goal picks go here. Islanders […]
Mike and Dan recap a week of close-but-no-cigar games and discuss the season-ending injury to Alexander Romanov (and Igor Shesterkin). In losses to the Rangers and Lightning, the Islanders showed some good things, but ultimately came away with zero points, which is a problem even this early in the season. At 2-3-0, they once again […]
