Artemi Panarin's days as a New York Ranger are coming to an end, and there's a very good possibility his next stop with be on the west coast. Rangers GM Chris Drury has been working the phones for weeks, trying to facilitate a move that Panarin would approve, and now it sounds like both sides are working together after Panarin was scratched in the Rangers game Wednesday. A game the Rangers lost 5-2 against the New York Islanders. Panarin has reportedly been told if he doesn't approve a trade o...
The Islanders met a moribund rival and soundly defeated the Rangers, who logged their fewest shots ever in the history of this derby rivalry. That team over there looked to be sleepwalking, outside of a few dangerous chances that the Isles maddeningly conceded. Maybe it was a bit of numbed shock in reaction to Artemi […]

The Rangers scored their first goal against the Islanders this season, but another penalty-filled night and repeated defensive lapses buried them again.

We’re less than one week away from the NHL’s pre-Olympic trade freeze, which means there’s a lot of trade buzz around the NHL. But trades aren’t the only pieces of news around the league right now that are worth considering.
Patrick Kane had a huge moment on Tuesday. The Canucks’ sprint to the bottom of the standings got another accelerant. The New York Islanders went shopping — in their own market. And the blue line continues to make news, both via trade rumors and a couple notable exten...
For all of us wondering if Islanders GM Mathieu Darche was going to invest in his currently-playoff-position team or commence with a selloff, the last two days gave us a clear answer. The first-year GM is not going big-game hunting, but he is managing assets (and spending a little cap space) to bring in veteran […]
*Another day, another opportunity for the Flyers to get it together and put together 60 minutes of cromulent hockey. This time, it’s the Columbus Blue Jackets. Let’s hope we see more of that Avs game and less of that Islanders game. Rick Tocchet shared his thoughts on the loss and what he thinks it means for his team. [ BSH ]
*He also let everyone know that he’s not very happy with Trevor Zegras at the moment. [ BSH ]
*Related, Zegras has been carrying the offense for most of the sea...
Prior to the New Jersey Devils loss to the Winnipeg Jets, Devils team reporter Amanda Stein reported that veteran winger Ondrej Palat was being held out of the game for “roster related decisions.” For those who aren’t on Hockey Twitter an unhealthy amount of time, “roster related decisions” is typically code for “we’re holding out […]

What on earth is going on in the Metropolitan Division? More narrowly, the metropolitan trio in the Metropolitan Division? For the second time this week, the New York Islanders made a trade with one of their next door neighbors in a move that again appears to aid both parties. The Isles sent winger Max Tsyplakov […]
For the second time in two days, the Metropolitan Division has seen a trade involving tri-state rivals. The New Jersey Devils have sent Ondrej Palat to the New York Islanders. 🚨TRADE🚨 Islanders receive: • Ondrej Palat • 2026 third-round pick • 2027 sixth-round pick Devils receive: • Maxim Tsyplakov pic.twitter.com/KvLKesLQc7 — Gino Hard (@GinoHard_) January 28, 2026 The Islanders also receive a 2026 third-round pick and a 2027 sixth-round pick, and in return they send Maxim Tsyplakov to ...
The Philadelphia Flyers are coming off one of their most disappointing efforts of the season. After a big 7-3 win in Colorado against the best team in the league, they were shut out and failed to generate many scoring chances as they returned home against the Islanders on Monday night.
Not many Flyers players stuck out in a positive way, but Matvei Michkov did look like himself again and was moved up to the top line in the third period. That was just a temporary measure, though, based on ...
After the Philadelphia Flyers dropped a crucial game against the New York Islanders Monday night, head coach Rick Tocchet was not trying to be careful or gentle with his words. He was asked how Trevor Zegras has been performing as of late and he let it rip.
The Flyers came into Monday night’s game as a high-pressure situation. If the were able to secure a win in regulation, they would suddenly find themselves back in the tightly contested playoff race with some solid footing as we head in...
The Flyers are on the downswing again.
So much of this first half and change of the season has been made up of pretty dramatic peaks and valleys, a whiplashing that the team is still working at figuring out how to tamp down.
The Flyers entered last night’s game on a high — just about as much of a high as possible, after delivering handily the league’s best team their sixth regulation loss of the season (and just their second on home ice) — and they had a chance to prove that they are...
The Rangers’ sell-off has begun: Carson Soucy is dealt across town to the Islanders, ending a short, uneven tenure and signaling what’s likely still to come.
The Islanders rebounded from a blah road trip and a worse return home by shutting out the Flyers — with a goal from each special team! — but the most interesting news of the day was confirmation that they were making a trade…with the {plugs nose} Rangers, of all teams. They acquired pending UFA defenseman […]
The Flyers were back in action tonight on home ice, facing off against the Islanders and looking to build on the momentum from a largely successful road trip. The Flyers certainly came into this one with some momentum, but failed to keep that rolling, and found themselves struggling to get their offense going on the way to a 4-0 shutout at the hands of a tough divisional opponent.

There were some lineup swaps tonight with Cal Ritchie (lower body injury) and Simon Holmstrom (illness) out. Max Tsyplakov and Marc Gatcomb drew into the lineup, giving both of them an opportunity to make an impression after a tough game for the Islanders against Buffalo. The Islanders bounced back tonight in Philadelphia, with JG Pageau […]
The Philadelphia Flyers are back home and just in time for snow to cover a whole portion of the continent, creating some international chaos and misery. Well, that is also about having to face the New York Islanders — a matchup that we have come to know and despise as two mediocre teams bonking each other on the head.

Carson Soucy expected to be the first move of the retool as trade to the New York Islanders is "brewing."
Mother Nature isn’t the only one capable of bringing down a storm. We had so much to discuss that we broke this episode into two parts. In Part 1, Mike and Dan find the Islanders at a low point after an average road trip and a disastrous return game. In three games this week, the […]
It appears that some reinforcements are finally on the way for the Flyers. After missing just under two weeks and six games for them with an upper-body injury, all signs are pointing to defenseman Rasmus Ristolainen returning to the lineup tonight for the Flyers’ matchup with the visiting Islanders. The change isn’t wholly locked in just yet, as Rick Tocchet told media after the pregame skate that the decision will be made to slide him back into the lineup in place of Noah Juulsen, so long as ...
