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...
SBN: Lighthouse Hockey (Steven E. Smith) —
Good night. | Photo by Scott W. Grau/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images I’m at the point where I almost don’t even want the miracle to happen. About a month and 12 games ago, after the afternoon no-show against the Tampa Bay Lightning in The Biggest Game of the Season Thus Far—a title usurped by basically every game since— I wrote this Bits piece in which I called the season. The fact...
SBN: Lighthouse Hockey (Dan Saraceni) —
Do we learn anything about the Islanders? Not really. But we do learn something about how people outside our bubble see them. Mike and Dan dissect a rare Islanders segment from Sportsnet’s venerable 32 Thoughts podcast about the club’s current losing streak and clouded playoff race. Hosted by Jeff Marek and Elliotte Friedman, 32 Thoughts is the most listened-to news podcast in hockey....
Mile High Hockey (Jackie Kay) —
Photo by Norm Hall/NHLI via Getty Images Do it for the children! Thankfully the next NHL Collective Bargaining Agreement doesn’t expire until 2026 but work should begin now on ideas how to revamp the contract rules regarding Restricted Free Agents. There’s always some discourse about how the RFA system should be abolished or elimination of the draft to make every player entering the...
SBN: Lighthouse Hockey (Dan Saraceni) —
From a potentially hated Ranger to a short time Islanders savior. Vivo El Cubano Grande. Joined by returning guest Nick Giglia, we celebrate goalie Al Montoya, who took a long road to the NHL and looked for a half season like more found money for the scrappy Islanders. Montoya had all the makings of an Islanders villain including getting drafted high by the Rangers and a preseason fight...

[blows raspberries] | Photo by Bill Wippert/NHLI via Getty Images I thought these guys turned a corner and weren’t going to do this no-show thing in big games anymore. My mistake I guess! They weren’t going to win six games in a row every time. They can’t win every game. And they did fly back from the West Coast and had to stop in Buffalo before going home. But last night, the New...
SBN: Lighthouse Hockey (Dominik) —
Yep. | Photo by Ben Ludeman/NHLI via Getty Images The Islanders looked flat in Buffalo, suffering their second shutout in a row and taking some shine off their recent six-game streak. We have entered the stretch of the season where fortunes and moods can swing with severe bipolarity, and the Islanders are experiencing that in full by following a six-game win streak with back-to-back...

The Wild improved to 4-0-1 over their past five games and took a third consecutive victory vs. Arizona to boost their chances at a playoff spot.
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...
Mile High Hockey (Casey Cheatum) —
Ron Chenoy-USA TODAY Sports New day, new lineup. This is going to be fun. Is this the most anticipated game day of the regular season? I think yes. The Colorado Avalanche are back in action tonight, facing the Minnesota Wild. The Avs roster is going to look very different compared to Wednesday night, as they prepare to welcome four new Avs to the lineup: Center Casey Mittelstadt,...
FanSided: Capitals Outsider (Harry Lichtman) —
Coming off an embarrassing loss to the Coyotes, the Capitals bounced back against their old archrivals, the Pittsburgh Penguins, with a 6-0 victory on the road.
Mile High Hockey (Evan Liu) —
Photo by Bailey Hillesheim/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images The Avs are not done moving yet before the deadline. The Colorado Avalanche announced Thursday afternoon the trade for Brandon Duhaime from the Minnesota Wild. Going the other way is a 2026 third-round pick. We have acquired forward Brandon Duhaime from the Minnesota Wild in exchange for a third-round pick in the 2026...
SBN: Lighthouse Hockey (Dominik) —
Gonna have to beat him this time. | Photo by Keith Gillett/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images The Isles look to keep their run going, and exact revenge on a team that shut them out a couple weeks ago. The New York Islanders and St. Louis Blues meet for the second time in about two weeks, and let’s just not talk about the previous meeting. (The Isles felt they played well, but things...
FanSided: Capitals Outsider (Harry Lichtman) —
After beating the Flyers 5-2 on Friday, the Capitals had their second home game in three days, but this game had the opposite result as Washington fell to the Arizona Coyotes by the same score of 5-2.
SBN: Lighthouse Hockey (Steven E. Smith) —
Brock’s been heating up lately. | Photo by Mike Stobe/NHLI via Getty Images After getting some help in the race last night, the Islanders need to capitalize. On Friday, the New York Islanders ’ playoff push had as good a night as they could’ve wished for on the out-of-town scoreboard. First, the Washington Capitals rallied back to beat the Philadelphia Flyers in regulation—this...
