The San Jose Sharks had little to say after a 2-1 overtime loss to the New York Islanders. It was the team’s second overtime loss in as many days and it was clear that the is one stung a lot more than the 3-2 loss to St. Louis on Friday night.
For the first half of the game, the Sharks seemed to figure out how to hang with the Islanders, but as the game wore on, San Jose got its scoring chances, but could not maintain puck possession as well as the Islanders did. There were a lot of one-a...
Bo Horvat scored with a nifty backhand on a breakaway as the Islanders continued their insane overtime record (9-0) and salvaged a win from their California swing, defeating the San Jose Sharks, 2-1. Brayden Schenn made his Islanders debut and was a presence for both the regulation goal for and against, settling in next to […]
The San Jose Sharks welcome Matthew Schaefer and the New York Islanders into SAP Center for the second night of back-to-back games tonight. This is going to be a tough go-around for the Sharks, as the Islanders had a chance to rest up for the game. New York was in San Jose, watching the Sharks play against the St. Louis Blues last night.
New York is doing well this season and is, surprisingly, in a playoff spot as of this evening. The Islanders sit in third in the Metropolitan Division, w...
The 2025-26 New York Islanders begin the rest of their season with a roster that has three veterans they did not have a couple of months ago. Two of them were once semi-stars but are now in their decline — while carrying cap hits that reflect the former phase than the latter — but Mathieu […]
Well this was all most unexpected. Amid rumors of New York Islanders interest in Robert Thomas or Jordan Kyrou of the St. Louis Blues, who were reportedly requiring exorbitant prices for those locked-in prime-age centerpieces, the Isles instead sent a 1st-round pick for 34-year-old Blues captain Brayden Schenn — a center who has declined into […]
The New York Islanders have finally gotten into the action at this trade deadline, making a big splash, as have the St. Louis Blues, as Brayden Schenn is headed to the Island. The official deal for Brayden Schenn to NYI. pic.twitter.com/03tHXXjLl2 — PuckEmpire (@puckempire) March 6, 2026 It’s a 2026 first-rounder, a third-rounder, and Jonathan Drouin and Swedish prospect Marcus Gidlof going back to St. Louis. The 34-year-old Schenn has been seemingly on the block for a couple of years no...
Along with Sabres reporter Joe Yerdon, we remember Chad Johnson & Michal Neuvirth, back-up goalies who were traded for each other at the deadline but didn’t help the Islanders much at all. On paper, Chad Johnson was the perfect addition to what looked to be a quality Islanders team in 2014. He was coming off […]
On the NHL’s trade deadline day, the New York Islanders are in playoff position but far from contender position. They have a Vezina candidate (favorite?) goalie and a Calder favorite who have driven an exciting season above expectations. Their power play is abysmal, and their overall team defense often leaves us scratching our head. They […]
The New York Islanders could have a new trade piece emerging ahead of Friday's 3pm trade deadline. According to Stefen Rosner of The Elmonters , forward Max Shabanov is open to a trade as he looks for a bigger opportunity elsewhere after struggling to secure a consistent role on Long Island this season. #Isles F Maxim Shabanov is a name to watch ahead of the Trade Deadline. Told he's open to a change of scenery to gain more #NHL experience. That + more on this trade deadline day [Free Fr...
It’s a good thing the Islanders managed three dramatic comeback wins coming out of the Olympic break, because then they headed to southern California and played like doodoo. Actually, their starts and play in SoCal wasn’t that much different from the prior three games, just the bounces and outcomes were a little different. They followed […]
The Islanders’ Olympic-spanning win streak ended in a Husso in Anaheim Wednesday night, but they have another chance to pick up points from Southern California tonight vs. the Kings. First Islanders Goal picks go here. Islanders News Elsewhere
The California trip got off to a thud of a start with a 5-1 loss in Anaheim as the Islanders could not get much going and could not finish nor get better looks against the Ducks’ backup-backup goalie. Ville Husso made 42 saves, but the game really turned in the first period as the Islanders […]
The Islanders and their five-game win streak touched down in California and got their skating legs going at practice Tuesday. A back-to-back begins tonight in Anaheim, which will be playing its own back-to-back after losing at home last night to the Avalanche. After an orange-heavy kickoff, this trip includes Los Angeles tomorrow and San Jose […]
One team that many of us may be sleeping on as we approach Friday's deadline is the New York Islanders . There haven't been a lot of rumors about who they might be chasing. But we do know that GM Mathieu Darche wants to reward his team for the unexpected playoff-bound season they're having. According to Vancouver Canucks insider Rick Dhaliwal , we should all be keeping an eye on the Islanders. He says that Conor Garland is on their radar. Dhaliwal: Keep an eye on the Isles. T...
The New York Islanders are starting to look like a real team to watch in the Jordan Kyrou rumor mill, with reporting out there that Isles GM Mathieu Darche has checked in on Kyrou as the St. Louis Blues embrace selling ahead of the March 6 deadline. Islanders trade interest in Jordan Kyrou is getting real
According to The Hockey News' Stefen Rosner , Darche has called on both Kyrou and Robert Thomas, which suggests the Islanders are hunting for a true difference-maker with term, not ju...
The Islanders are headed West, where the Kings are falling but the Ducks are surging again. A few bounces here or there and they could be beginning this trip under a dark cloud, but the comebacks and magical individual efforts to win the last three games have them six points ahead of the next Metro […]
Mike and Dan are relaxed and excited as the Islanders win three in a row and put themselves in good position for both the playoffs and the NHL Trade Deadline. We were worried that going into two places they never win in – Montreal and Columbus – and coming back to face the rabid Panthers […]
The Florida Panthers cloudy playoff picture grew even more muddled with a 5-4 loss to the New York Islanders at UBS Arena.
Anders Lee scored the game-winning goal, skating around Aaron Ekblad and going backhand-to-forehead to beat Sergei Bobrovsky with 32 ticks left in regulation to hand the Cats a second consecutive one-goal loss.
After struggling to score Friday against Buffalo, the Panthers got off to a great start, opening up a two-goal lead on the Islanders.
Bobrovsky rippe...
The Islanders pulled off a third consecutive two-goal comeback win and this time they didn’t even need overtime, though Anders Lee’s winner was practically that, coming with 32 seconds left in regulation on a stunning individual play by the captain. Oh, also: Matthew Schaefer had another two-goal game, ho-hum, to bring his rookie season goal […]
No rest for the victors, as the Islanders return to Long Island to host the Florida Panthers after winning in Columbus last night. The Panthers are rested and might even be a little healthier, having lost at home to the Sabres on Friday night. The two-time defending champs are 30-26-3 on the season and sit […]
The Florida Panthers (30-26-3) will open a key four-game road trip when they pay a visit to the New York Islanders (34-21-5) this evening at UBS Arena.
Florida is coming off a frustrating 3-2 loss to the Buffalo Sabres on Friday in which they wasted a high-quality start from backup goalie Daniil Tarasov, who stopped 36 of 38 shots. Matthew Tkachuk scored his fifth of the season in the middle frame and Sam Bennett notched his 20th with 35 seconds remaining to pull the Cats within one, but ...
The Islanders pulled out yet another overtime win — their eighth in eight tries this season — and another two points from a game where they didn’t have their best and their opponent left feeling like they deserved better. Trailing 2-0 early in the second period, Ilya Sorokin kept the Isles in the game long […]
It was announced today that former 1st-round pick of the Columbus Blue Jackets , Kent Johnson, was a healthy scratch ahead of today's game against the New York Islanders. Drafted by former general manager Jarmo Kekalainen, Johnson was poised to propel the Blue Jackets into Stanley Cup contention. Kent Johnson scratched tonight for CBJ… @megangley mentioned him on the pod over the summer as a potential great fit in Colorado. — Jesse Montano (@jessemontano_) February 28, 2026 But this...
The Islanders remain on the road in Columbus before coming back home tomorrow for a meeting with the Panthers. Both opponent are chasing to get back in the wild card spots, though it’s looking bleak for the two-time defending Cup champs. The Blue Jackets have two games in hand on the Isles but trail by […]
After a long break for the Olympics, the Montreal Canadiens were back on Bell Centre ice to shake off the rust with a Thursday night matchup against the New York Islanders. Allowing a late goal to tie the game sent them to overtime, and while the one point they earned for getting there is valuable, they left one more on the table when Jean-Gabriel Pageau put home the game-winner at three-on-three.
An unfortunate end, to be sure, but there were some encouraging performances in the game as ...
