Not starting tonight, but appreciate the stretch. | Photo by Bruce Bennett/Getty Images The Islanders have destiny in their hands, facing the Devils while all their wild card competitors also play tonight.

Photo by Matthew Stockman/Getty Images While one opponent looks more likely than the rest, who knows what’s in store for the final week. Things seem to have gotten a lot clearer in the past week for the Colorado Avalanche ’s playoff picture. But yet, who knows what is still in store for the final week of the regular season for the Avs. They currently sit third in the Central...

Photo by Michael Martin/NHLI via Getty Images The results could’ve ended up very different by season’s end. While the season isn’t officially over yet, the standings for the Colorado Avalanche seem all but set. Unless something drastic happens, they are on track to finish second in the Central Division and miss out on a fourth straight division title. They are currently five points...
SBN: Lighthouse Hockey (Dominik) —
Photo by Bruce Bennett/Getty Images With playoffs on the line, what a time to reacquaint with an old rival. When the 2023-24 schedule came out, along with the silly outdoor game that always has to be a Rangers road game, many remarked how dull it was to not meet the Redpants in the first half of the season — and 531 days between meetings at Belmont — but that was tempered by the...
SBN: Lighthouse Hockey (Dan Saraceni) —
It’s been a wild rollercoaster of a week in a wild rollercoaster of a season. Mike and Dan try to make sense of the Islanders’ recent turnaround, that saw them win four straight and vault into third place in the Metro Division. What seemed like a lost cause suddenly became an uplifting triumph, sometimes within the same game. Wins over the Flyers, Blackhawks, Blue Jackets and, most...

You have another day to enjoy before the dreadful feelings return. | Photo by Bruce Bennett/Getty Images After beginning last week looking like a lost cause, four wins make for a fresh and bright Monday sitting in 3rd in the Metro. On the 285-episodes-and-counting Islanders Anxiety podcast, Mike often refers to that periodic condition in Islanders fandom where something good that...
SBN: Lighthouse Hockey (Steven E. Smith) —
Full team commitment for Varly’s shutout. | Photo by Bruce Bennett/Getty Images The Islanders honored their former coach with a defensive show. The New York Islanders played four games in six nights this week, including one huge road game against a team they had been chasing and one home game against an opponent they hadn’t beaten in their last ten tries and hadn’t beaten at home...
SBN: Lighthouse Hockey (Dominik) —
He rejects. | Photo by Bruce Bennett/Getty Images And what kind of crushing blow is it setting us up for? There is no way you entered this week expecting the New York Islanders would win four straight games, capped by a 41-save shutout of their western nemesis Nashville Predators, leaving the Isles in playoff position and in control of their own destiny. Yet here we are. Semyon...
SBN: Lighthouse Hockey (Dominik) —
Focus. | Photo by Mike Stobe/NHLI via Getty Images The Islanders could really use this one. The New York Islanders are long overdue to get some points from the Nashville Predators, and taking two tonight would be a nice dessert after results all went the Isles’ way Friday night. The Penguins are also now crowding the picture, having beaten the Lightning earlier this afternoon. So...

Clutter doesn’t sound like he’s going anywhere. | Photo by Mike Stobe/NHLI via Getty Images They can’t lose to Nashville forever, right? The streak has to end some time. How about tonight, with Barry Trotz there? Last night was a good one on the scoreboard, folks. All three of the Philadelphia Flyers, Detroit Red Wings, and Washington Capitals all lost in regulation. I was keeping...
SBN: Lighthouse Hockey (Steven E. Smith) —
What a bond. | Photo by Jason Mowry/Getty Images The world isn’t ending just because the Islanders are somehow back in it. The New York Islanders have won three straight games and four of their last five contests. Combined with some help out of town, these wins have landed them back in a playoff spot at 83 points. And the very next morning, New York experiences an earthquake. That...
