Photo by Joel Auerbach/Getty Images Goals from Ryan Pulock, Mat Barzal, and JG Pageau, plus a 27 save performance from Semyon Varlamov, help the Isles secure the win. They absolutely needed that one. With a friendly out-of-town scoreboard (the Canadiens beat the Flyers, the Hurricanes beat the Red Wings, and the Maple Leafs beat the Capitals), the New York Islanders were able to...
Mile High Hockey (Evan Liu) —
Photo by Andy Cross/MediaNews Group/The Denver Post via Getty Images Colorado could never really put it altogether in the loss. Oh well. The Colorado Avalanche had its win streak snapped at nine games, at the hands of the Montreal Canadiens. The Habs finished up their five-game road trip with a 2-1 win at Ball Arena on Tuesday night. All it took was some drama and action in the...
Denver Post: All Things Avs (Corey Masisak) —
The Colorado Avalanche have looked unstoppable at home for much of the season and in any venue since a wave of additions before the NHL trade deadline.

Photo by Harrison Barden/Getty Images It’s a Colorado Avalanche game day! The Colorado Avalanche go for 10 wins Tuesday night against the Montreal Canadiens. Having not lost since the beginning of the month, the Avs look to keep their hot streak going on home ice. With the Canadiens coming to town going in an opposite direction, Colorado should take care of business. But...
Mile High Hockey (Jackie Kay) —
Photo by Richard A. Whittaker/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images A nice reward for the young Avalanche goaltender. Following the news of his start tonight against the Montreal Canadiens, word leaked that the Colorado Avalanche had extended their young netminder Justus Annunen to a two-year contract extension through the 2025-26 season. Juice for two more years! We have signed...

SBN: Lighthouse Hockey (Dominik) —
Maybe if we wrestle... | Photo by Mike Stobe/NHLI via Getty Images The Islanders aren’t eliminated yet, but they’ve done nothing to earn our trust, hope or optimism. The Islanders were off yesterday, and if I were boss I’d tell them to go ahead and take the next few weeks off, too. They need it. We need it. There wasn’t much new said about the team yesterday, and we’re all the better...
Mile High Hockey (Evan Liu) —
Photo by Matthew Stockman/Getty Images What more can you say about this special, special team? The hottest team in the league showed their worth in this win. The Colorado Avalanche came back from a 4-0 deficit toward the end of the second period and won 5-4 in overtime over the Pittsburgh Penguins . It was far from a great game for the Avalanche, but they got the important two...
SBN: Lighthouse Hockey (Dominik) —
Crash. | Photo by Bruce Bennett/Getty Images A terrible matinee weekend turns the screw. Bo Horvat sure looks like he knows the stakes. Some other players, too. But overall, it’s a cruel and maddening prank this team is playing on us, surging back into the wild card spots (depending on the day) and taking advantage of a Red Wings swoon only to suddenly start looking like they’ve...
SBN: Lighthouse Hockey (Steven E. Smith) —
It’s a national broadcast, so get ready to see a bunch of these highlights all day. | Photo by Bruce Bennett/Getty Images This team takes off too many periods, it looks like. What could go wrong today? Instead of flushing Thursday’s loss down the toilet as we hoped, the New York Islanders excreted a similarly disappointing effort in another big opportunity to get two points in a...

Rittich got the shutout, but he didn’t have to do a ton for it, to be honest. | Photo by Juan Ocampo/NHLI via Getty Images They also fall out of a playoff spot for the time being. Win streaks don’t last forever. Sometimes, that’s for the best because it keeps a team sharper. That’s what the New York Islanders will try to take away from tonight’s shutout loss to the Los Angeles...
SBN: Lighthouse Hockey (Steven E. Smith) —
There’s our deadline acquisition. | Photo by Dave Reginek/NHLI via Getty Images The Islanders did not make any trades in the weeks leading up to the deadline, but made a couple depth moves early on and hired a new coach. It was a fairly busy trade deadline around the NHL, but the New York Islanders chose not to participate. And frankly, that was probably the right move. There...
SBN: Lighthouse Hockey (Steven E. Smith) —
Goal no. 2. | Photo by Bruce Bennett/Getty Images They need to keep it going, but what a week. That throttling of the Boston Bruins , led by a first-period natural hat trick for Long Island’s own Kyle Palmieri, was a statement win to cap off a tough but critical week of New York Islanders hockey. Just a week ago, we were writing off this season as dead and lost and were looking...

Smile! | Photo by Andrew Mordzynski/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images And the turf, too. No Achilles tears, thankfully. The New York Islanders and their families took the maiden voyage of practice skates on the outdoor ice at MetLife Stadium. They looked like they were having fun, which was nice to see. Not sure what today holds for the Isles, whether they’re skating again or off,...

Rangers forward Blake Wheeler injured his right leg midway through the first period Thursday night against Montreal and had to be helped off the ice.
